Masella ski resort expands skiable terrain

Masella, one of Spain’s leading ski areas in the Pyrenees about 1.5 hours north of Barcelona, has announced that it will extend the groomed skiable terrain by 4km and install a new lift in the Pia sector.
The resort will new runs this winter in the most easterly sector, Pia, of its ski area.
The new Leitner built “Pia Express” detachable six-seater chairlift will serve the new ski runs and provide access to the newly created Pia-1700m zone which can also be reached by road from the highway that links Masella to the neighbouring ski resort of La Molina at the Pla de Corda-2125m (the two resorts are also linked by ski runs).
The 4km of runs will be divided in to five new pistes which encompass all standards of skier and boarder (blue, red and black runs have been created). The north facing slopes are cut through the forests of the Pia and Estan areas.
The resort’ snowmaking has been extended to cover three quarters of the new runs with nearly 120km (75 miles) of runs served by around 30 lifts, including seven high-speed detachable chairs, three of them six-seaters.
