Arties is 4.5 miles from Baqueira and is the oldest and most popular village.

The Montarto peak creates an imposing back drop to the village and has provided many challenges to the more extreme mountaineer.

There are many old buildings which have been restored including the 13th century church which stands on the main road and the village is built around the convergence of two rivers.

The mixture of tradition and tourism makes for a great atmosphere. There are several bars and restaurants of excellent quality and price. Hotspots are the renowned 'Urtau' Tapas bar, the Casa Irene restaurant and the La Luna late night bar. There are also some bears in an enclosure who ventured too close to the ski station about a decade ago!
