Health and safety measures for COVID-19
Baqueira Beret, safe destination
COVID is not a danger for skiers: the fact that it is done outdoors, in wide open spaces and in the heart of nature, is the greatest guarantee of safety.
In order to guarantee the well-being of our visitors and employees, and ensure that the skiing season proceeds as normal, Baqueira Beret applies the recommendations and measures decreed by the health authorities. In this respect:
- Masks must be worn in all parts of the resort when it is not possible to maintain a distance of 1.5 m between non-cohabiting individuals.
- Masks must be worn in queues and on the ski-lift routes when it is not possible to maintain a distance of 1.5 m between non-cohabiting individuals.

Lift protocol
-
Most of the lifts at the resort are open air chair and ski lifts where the client is always outdoors in the fresh clean air. In the cable cars the windows are open to ensure the flow of clean air.
-
Thanks to skis and snowboards, people naturally have to keep a certain distance from each other. In addition, Baqueira Beret will measure out the distance between skiers and queues will be organised so that clients will keep a safe distance.
-
To ease the ticket checking, pin your BaqueiraPASS or BaqueiraTICKET on the left sleeve of your jacket.
-
All the ski lifts will be working to full capacity.
Ski lift use
-
Wearing a mask will be obligatory when queueing for lifts and while using them when it is not possible to maintain a distance of 1.5 m between non-cohabiting individuals.
-
Standard safety measures require that skiers leave the landing zone quickly as soon as they have arrived. Once off the lift, skiers and snowboarders have ample open spaces to do this.
-
The average time spent on a ski lift is about 7 minutes, considerably shorter than most journeys on other forms of transport, such as buses, undergrounds, trains and planes. The chair lifts move at a speed of between 2.5 and 5 metres per second depending on the type and the distance between vehicles is between 15 and 30 metres.
-
Hygiene measures will be stepped up and all ski lifts will be regularly cleaned with disinfectant.
Bars and restaurants

All bars, cafés, restaurants and terraces in the resort will combine the use of physical cards and QR codes.
An online service for ordering and paying will be introduced to avoid queuing. Eat in or Take away.
