Ski-in/ski-out

Masella is a slope-side resort with hotels and apartments at the foot of the runs, linked over the top with La Molina as the Alp 2500 domain.

Get to know the resort

Masella drops through pine and birch forest off the 2535 m Tosa d'Alp in the Catalan Cerdanya, with 74 km of its own piste that join La Molina over the summit to make the 140 km Alp 2500 area. The tree-lined runs are long, sheltered and great fun, and the resort is celebrated for one of the largest night-skiing operations in Europe. Sunny, family-friendly and easy to reach from Barcelona, it pairs naturally with neighbouring La Molina for a bigger day out.
