About Masella
Masella is La Molina's sister resort on the southern slopes of the Serra Moreneta above the Cerdanya Valley, sharing the same Catalan Pyrenean location and Barcelona accessibility but offering a slightly larger ski area of 74km and a terrain profile that skews somewhat more towards the intermediate-to-advanced market. Its 14 lifts serve terrain that includes excellent long red runs dropping 900 vertical metres through the resort's main sectors, good mogul and off-piste terrain above 2,200m when conditions permit, and the resort's particularly popular night skiing operation — Masella offers some of the most extensive night skiing in the Pyrenees, with illuminated runs open until 11pm on Friday and Saturday nights that attract Barcelona weekenders seeking a different snow experience. The combined La Molina-Masella ski area, for which a single combined ticket provides access to both mountains connected by free shuttle bus, creates a genuinely substantial Pyrenean ski domain of 134km with 32 lifts that competes credibly with mid-sized Alpine ski areas. Masella's own village at the base is more limited than La Molina's, but the shared infrastructure of the Cerdanya valley — with its excellent parador national hotel, Nordic walking trails, and Catalan mountain gastronomy — makes the wider area an increasingly compelling short-break skiing destination for European and US travelers flying through Barcelona.
