Terra Alta

During the winter season, the snow becomes the protagonist. The natural scenery surrounding the Terra Alta is dressed in white, turning the site into a real ski resort.
The exclusive facilities offer the possibility of enjoying the quietness and privacy not characteristic of other massive winter resorts. An excellent option for those who are making their first steps in the practice of this sport.
The hotel is located inside a neighborhood that has two ski trails of its own. One of them is 400 meters long and has a T-bar as a lift. The other measures 850 meters of length and has a steeper slope. It has a triple chairlift. These trails are ideal for learners.
In addition to the amusement provided, the longer trail allows guests to ski along a path that crosses the forest and ends in the Mount Chapelco trails.
