Port del Comte, in Spanish Pyrenees, is the nearest at about 109 km in a straight line. By mountain road it is longer, but nothing else is closer.
As the crow flies, from the airport coordinates to each resort. It is a fair way to rank what is nearest, but real driving distance is longer on winding Alpine roads, so treat it as an order of proximity, not a transfer time.
