  FSC International Trip

  Tour and Ski!

  March 4-18, 2026

  
  

  This extensive ski resort in the Spanish Pyrenees is quite deservedly developing a reputation as a top class resort – the skiing is great, the slopes are snow sure and the food is a highlight. The ski resort Baqueira/Beret is located in the Val d’Aran (Spain, Catalonia, Lleida) Region.

  For skiing and snowboarding, the resort boasts over 5,600 acres of skiing, from beginner to expert, and 34 lifts to transport the guests. The winter sports area is situated between the elevations of 1,471 m ~(4,800 ft) and 2,510 m (~8,150 ft). The Baqueira Beret ski resort is one of the most well known in Spain and one of the largest and best ski resorts in the Pyrenees. Due to the snow reliable location, the ski season usually begins in November and goes until the end of April.

  There will be options available for non-skiers as well, including day tours, or alternative winter activities of snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dog sledding with optional lunch at a Refugio (see below). Wine bars will of course be serving the infamous Spanish wines, and numerous Spanish restaurants serving delicious Spanish dinners and tapas.

This afternoon, visit Vicente Roca Point. This is a marine-only visitor site with great opportunities for deep-water snorkeling. See plenty of red-lipped batfish, sea horses, frogfish, marine turtles, sunfish, nudibranchs and octopi in these waters.

A variety of birds - tree and ground finches, vermillion flycatchers, paint-billed crakes, yellow warblers and cattle egrets (usually standing on the tortoises’ shell!) make this their home, while the Galápagos giant tortoises are also seen meandering through pastures in their natural habitat. Continue to the Baltra airport for your flight to Guayaquil. Upon arrival, enjoy a city tour with a local guide as you visit Centenario Park dedicated to the independence and freedom of the old city.
