Quick answer
Masella is one of the most important ski resorts in La Cerdanya, in the Girona Pyrenees, known for its runs through pine forest and for night skiing. Together with La Molina it forms the Alp 2500 area, one of the largest in Catalonia, with runs for every level and good access from Barcelona.
Where it is and how to get there
Masella is in the La Cerdanya district, in the province of Girona, very close to La Molina, with which it shares the Alp 2500 ski area thanks to the gondola that links them. It is one of the favourite resorts of skiers from Barcelona because it is relatively close and has good access roads.
Slopes and ski area
According to the resort’s technical sheet, Masella has 74 skiable km and 65 runs (9 green, 27 blue, 23 red and 6 black), with 17 lifts, between 1,600 m at Pla de Masella and 2,535 m at La Tosa. 90% of the runs face north and many wind through pine forest, which helps keep the snow; even so, check the snow report before you go.
