When you ski, you become obsessive: he dreams of skiing, he gets up and the first thing he looks at is the report of the slopes, there is no other possible conversation than the descents and it is the only thing he has in mind. And if you have traveled to the Pyrenees, let it be for skiing , obvious. So, where do you need to stay? At the foot of the track. That's what any pro skier wants.

The H Hotel Romanic and the Boí Taull Resort , from €36 , and the apartments, from €21 . Interesting, right? The aesthetic is what one expects: warm and mountainous , with traditional materials that provide a feeling of home, like the classic stone, slate and wood.

WHAT CAN WE SEE?
And here, what can we do, besides skiing? To get started, we owe, we deserve , take advantage of the visit to enjoy the charms of Valle, a succession of small towns (joined by the same road) with a impressive display of Lombard Romanesque art : eight churches and a hermitage declared UNESCO World Heritage . Gives like to breastfeed. Our recommendation: go to the Vall de Boí Romanesque Center (in Erill la Vall), where they will gladly inform you and you can sign up for Guided visits (if you are comfortable, from the resort they are also organized).
Among the must-sees, Sant Climent de Taüll and Santa María de Taüll, between stone and slate houses surrounded by this impressive landscape, and Sant Joan de Boi, with wall paintings that enlighten us about the prophecies of Daniel and the medieval bestiary.
If the Romanesque is one of the great charms of the Valley, nature is another it is worth taking a look at the ** Aigüestortes National Park **, the only existing National Park in Catalonia , in the heart of the Pyrenees, with four peaks that exceed 3,000 meters and a dozen above 2,800. Rivers, ravines, waterfalls and swamps remind us that, in addition to the country of snow, this is the country of water The Park has two historical entrances and one of them is precisely from Boi. If you prefer the organized plan, from the resort they plan guided tours.
