The winter months, when a white blanket of snow covers the valleys and peaks of the Pyrenees and aromatic liquid gold gushes from the oil mills of the Lleida plain, are perhaps the most magical time of year. A season in which visitors can breathe the purest air and enjoy the most relaxed tourism, surrounded by welcoming people and seductive natural landscapes.

With its 11 alpine and Nordic ski resorts, the Lleida area offers fans of this winter sport first-class facilities located in a privileged environment and a wide range of possibilities in terms of snow sports, combined with an attractive offer of après-ski activities.

Lovers of good food will appreciate the delicacies of a hearty cuisine in which stews, casseroles and grilled meats are the best way to refuel after a day of sightseeing. Along with gastronomy, there are quality products such as wine and extra virgin olive oil, which have given rise to very interesting experiential wine and olive oil tourism proposals.

The winter months are also ideal for enjoying the hospitality of the locals, sharing in some of the many festive and cultural activities to be found throughout the land, from the most traditional celebrations typical of this time of year to the most innovative events. Another option is to discover the rich monumental heritage of the Pyrenees and the Lands of Lleida, where history and art come together in an immense catalogue of monuments – prehistoric, Iberian and Roman sites, popular dry stone constructions, medieval castles and Renaixença, Baroque and Catalan Art Nouveau buildings – from all periods and styles.

There is no doubt about it: in the counties of Lleida you will find just what you’re looking for to enjoy the winter embers to the fullest!
