Where you can continue skiing

This resort is part of Alp 2500. Pistes and lifts connect you with: Masella.

The Alp 2500 pass covers the link between La Molina and Masella.

Before setting off, check that your pass covers the route and the connecting lifts and pistes are open. Allow time for your return.

Before you go

Use La Molina as your starting point when comparing accommodation in Catalonia. Check the official operator’s piste map, lift status and transfer arrangements before choosing your base.

Planning your visit

January–March is an indicative winter travel window for this destination. It is not an opening calendar or a snow guarantee. Check the resort’s own updates before committing to dates.

Make it your kind of trip

Two very different mountain worlds: the Pyrenees and Andalusia. Baqueira Beret suits a dedicated ski holiday; Sierra Nevada pairs naturally with Granada.

La Molina · On the mountain and beyond the slopes

Before setting off, compare the wind and the temperatures at the forecast point with the elevations you plan to ski. New snowfall in the forecast and snow depth on a piste describe different things. The operator’s latest lift and piste report is the place to check what is open.

The forecast point is at about 1,485 m (Copernicus DEM / Open-Meteo terrain estimate).

For a nearby comparison, Puigcerda is about 11 km away in a straight line. Check both forecasts if your plans include these places. The distance is measured in a straight line, not along the road.

Around the June solstice, there are approximately 15h 20m of daylight, compared with 9h 00m at the December solstice. These are astronomical estimates, not sunshine forecasts; cloud and the local horizon affect the light you see.

Compare seasons in the weather history. Check the selected period, source and data coverage: station observations and gridded historical estimates describe different records.

For La Molina the ski-area comparison is: local area: 71 km (La Molina).

For a comparison in the same category, Masella is listed with 74 km. Published measurement methods and area boundaries may differ; the number does not indicate how many pistes are open today.

Local, linked and regional totals overlap and must not be added. Run counts and terrain in acres are different measures from piste length in km.

Skiing, snowboarding & trail difficulty

La Molina documents halfpipe, slopestyle, big air and rails, plus a smaller fun park. Its technical page lists one snowpark while the freestyle page describes two, so no park total is stated. The 66 pistes cover La Molina alone, not its combined area with Masella.

Park operation and layouts depend on the season and conditions.

Detailed mountain forecast

Start with the 14-day weather forecast. Open the detailed tables to compare models, then explore hourly temperature, precipitation, wind and 850 hPa in the meteogram. Ensembles show the spread of possible outcomes; satellite images show observed clouds.

Available model families combine per variable. “Today” with hours in parentheses covers the stated window; subsequent days require full local coverage. Days 8–14 are less certain; missing data remain blank. Snowfall cm are fresh snow, not snow depth. Sea-level pressure. Terrain temperature downscaling by Open-Meteo; no Agios Stefanos calibration.

Weather history · La Molina · 10–100 years

This summary uses the destination’s fixed coordinates and the historical service’s terrain elevation. It does not change with the forecast’s manual elevation setting. Mountain terrain, wind redistribution and snowmaking are not fully represented. Snowfall days do not indicate opening days or piste snow depth.

Explore rain and snowfall frequency, monthly average daily lows and highs, and daily temperature extremes over the selected period.

The historical summary loads automatically…

Monthly weather history · choose a period and data source
Month Mean low °C Mean high °C Precipitation mm/month Rain days/month Snowfall days/month

Choose 10, 20 or 30 years of temperature and precipitation history. The 100-year option searches for a nearby NOAA station with a sufficiently long record; the table shows the actual coverage. NASA POWER / MERRA-2 and ERA5 provide gridded historical estimates, while NOAA GHCNd contains station observations. These sources are shown separately, not combined into one time series.

A precipitation day has at least 1 mm of total precipitation. Where a source reports rain separately, the rain-day figure covers rain alone. A snowfall day has at least 0.1 cm of fresh snow where that variable is available; it does not establish snow cover on the ground. NASA POWER does not provide snowfall here. Blank values mean missing data, not zero. Averages and extremes use only the complete months or years stated in the table. These historical figures do not automatically calibrate the forecast.

Forecast sources and model coverage

Forecast source

The choice applies to widgets, maps and forecasts. Actual station readings stay unchanged. Automatic tries Open-Meteo first, then available direct sources if a supported request fails.

Open-Meteo

Data service providing forecasts from NOAA, ECMWF, ECCC, DWD, the Met Office, Météo-France and JMA. Available models, variables and grids depend on the location and product.

Direct model sources

XIONIA collects data directly from the model providers. Forecasts and maps are served after the source cycle has been published and collected. The selected product shows its model, resolution, available variables and run.

How models combine

Each available family contributes once per variable. Direct forecasts select the freshest available GFS grid and use equal family weights as the baseline. Local weights apply only where enabled after validation. The comparison shows actual percentages and model cycles.

Additional model forecasts are also shown for comparison and backtesting. Their presence does not automatically add weight to the combined forecast; check the displayed weights.

Coverage and missing values

A dash means unavailable data. Wind and gust may use different models. AIGFS temperature is excluded when it cannot be compared on the same elevation basis. Six-hour precipitation is water equivalent, not snow depth.

Time window

A “Today” label with hours in parentheses covers only the stated time window; subsequent days require full local coverage. Days 8–14 are a less certain outlook. Agreement between models is not a probability from a true ensemble.

Ensemble forecasts

Ensemble systems provide multiple forecast scenarios; the available systems appear in the chart selector and image catalogue. AIGFS is the single forecast; AIGEFS is the separate ensemble. Available variables and forecast horizons differ by system.

Snowfall forecast for La Molina

The forecast point for La Molina is at 1,485 m (Catalonia · 42.3350°, 1.9560°).

Use the daily forecast to compare fresh snow, temperature and wind. The mountain view shows the selected day and model; XIONIA’s combined forecast is selected initially. Fresh snowfall and snow already on the ground are separate measurements. Snowfall elevation is a model value or a labelled approximate estimate when available. Days 8–14 show a less certain trend.

The forecast refers to this point; conditions on the summit and at the ski base can differ. Check the resort operator for lift and piste status.
