La Molina offers 71 kilometres of piste over 66 runs on the Cerdanya side of the Pyrenees, falling 870 metres from 2,537 metres down to the 1,667-metre base. The balance is unusually even across the grades: 30% beginner, 27% intermediate, 34% advanced and 9% expert. That makes it a handy choice for groups whose abilities do not line up, since nobody is stuck at the bottom or the top. A gondola from the base takes you up into the main skiing, and the nursery slopes are easy to reach, which suits families. The pistes are varied enough to keep everyone busy.

The upper slopes climb the shoulders of the Tosa d'Alp, where the best views over the Cerdanya valley appear and the advanced pistes drop away. Beginners and children have gentle areas close to the village, while intermediates can link long, rolling blues and reds. The Alp 2500 cable car connects with neighbouring Masella across the Tosa, so keen skiers can add a second area to their day. Freeride terrain is limited, so this is a pistes-first resort for families, mixed-ability groups and people who like a sunny day on the snow.

La Molina operates from early December through to late April, with the 2025/26 season running 10 December to 27 April — one of the longer season windows of any resort in the Catalan Pyrenees. The resort records an average annual snowfall of around 6 metres, with the Cerdanya region's position on the southern side of the Pyrenean divide producing a climate that combines cold continental air with periodic Atlantic weather systems, resulting in heavy snowfall events followed by extended periods of high pressure and sunshine.

The snowiest conditions are typically concentrated from January through March, and the current 2025/26 season has accumulated 402cm total with a base depth of 240cm by early March.

The higher elevations of the ski area — particularly the summit terrain above 2,300m accessed via the Cadí-Moixeró gondola — hold snow quality well into spring, and the north-facing Torrent Negre and Tosa d'Alp sectors are among the last in the Catalan Pyrenees to lose their winter cover. La Molina's snowmaking infrastructure provides important early-season support, ensuring the main access runs and beginner areas open reliably from the December start date regardless of natural snowfall timing.

The resort's relatively sunny disposition — the Cerdanya is one of the sunniest valleys in the Pyrenees — makes spring skiing particularly attractive, with warm afternoon temperatures on south-facing blues contrasting with preserved cold snow on shaded upper runs.
