Masella – Discover Ski Slopes and Mountain Trails

In the Masella ski resort, the “Familiar” ski slope connects the two points of La Pleta and Pla de Masella and has an elevation difference of 420 m along this route. At more than 6 km, the “Dues Estacions” ski slope is the longest slope in Masella; it starts at the summit of La Tosa on the eastern side of the ski resort. The Masella ski resort also has a continuous descent of 935 m, running from La Tosa at 2,535 m to Pla de Masella at 1,600 m. The Masella ski resort is located in a dense pine forest; 90% of its slopes face north. From the summit of La Tosa, the panorama extends across the entire Cerdanya and a large part of Catalonia.

The ascent to La Tosa begins in the Masella ski resort at the Coma Oriola car park at 1,922 m. The route from Coma Oriola to La Tosa is considered the shortest and most direct way to reach the summit on foot.
