Winter competitions, five-star menu.
The year 2016 has begun full of sporting events taking place, week after week on the slopes of Baqueira Beret. For starter, the station has hosted many important competitions in January, including the 2nd Triathlon Ski CEVA and I Trophy AC Hotels – CAEI Masters, first race of the season of the Spain Masters Cup circuit in the Calendar RFEDI.
This competition took place during the celebration of the World Snow Day in the Val d’Aran which has been used there to raise awareness of skiing, with a promotion that has been extended to the entire month.
Also, BBB Ski Race Experience joined last weekend 262 skiers of all ages in the area of Beret, where they conducted a funny boardercross, a giant in Baqueira and a freeride in 
Bonaigua. Participants toured the new station areas, participating in the various tests that made them feel the most pleasant sensations.
And next weekend, we expected a new appointment, this time for younger, holding Montse Corominas Trophy, a race of alpine ski in the U14 category organized by the CEVA in the Beret Stadium.
On the other hand, sport continues attracting high-level skiers into the Valley. The Aran stations have welcomed the snowboard Spanish team which was training in Baqueira, a demonstration of the consolidation of the Val d’Aran as a tourist and sportive premier destination and, in particular, of Baqueira Beret as one of the best ski stations of the world.
The Marxa Beret in February, main course of the season
With the snow in perfect condition, there will come the 37th Marxa Beret, the most popular competition which this year takes place on 6 and 7 February. Lleida Provincial Council welcomed on Monday the presentation of the marxa, which this year takes place in conjunction with the European Nordic Ski Championships. It is expected the arrival at the Val d’Aran of between 1,400 and 1,500 athletes from around the world to participate in this exciting race.
On Saturday 6, the tests will take place in 15km, 30 km freestyle. Sunday 7th long distance test will be held in classical style, on a 10km, 21km and 42km circuits.
This test is for the European Championship Ski Marathons, that will win who get the computation of the two fastest times of the two distance events: the 30km (Saturday) and 42km (Sunday).
Keeping forces for dessert
