Royal Icing

Royal Icing: Catalonia

Nestled in the mountain town of Baqueira, this home is the perfect place to begin your alpine adventures. It's a fantastic gateway to the Val d'Aran and the wider Catalan Pyrenees – aka, heaven for outdoors enthusiasts.

The interior is chic and tranquil, with a muted colour palette and natural wood details. Flop down on the comfy sofa and rest your legs as you watch your favourite movie with a warming cup of hot chocolate. When you get hungry, you can pad through to the kitchen and whip up your favourite dishes to refuel after a busy day.

The possibilities are endless for active guests, no matter what time of year you're visiting. Just a short walk away, you'll find the lifts up to Baqueira Beret ski resort, one of the best in the Pyrenees with plenty of runs to suit all levels of ability. And, during the summer months, you can hop on your bike or lace up your boots and hit the trails – the peaks and valleys are simply breathtaking.
