Discover the Charm of a 2-Day Snow Escape from Valencia
If you’re craving a winter break that combines skiing, relaxation, and scenic villages, this 2-day snow escape from Valencia to Valdelinares-Javalambre in Aragon offers a well-rounded experience. For $735 per person, you’ll enjoy two full days on the slopes, luxurious accommodation with a spa, and organized transport, all tailored to give you a hassle-free winter adventure.
Two things we particularly love about this trip are the inclusive approach—equipment, lessons, and meals are all taken care of—and the opportunity to explore Rubielos de Mora, one of Spain’s most picturesque villages.
