What the transfer covers
La Molina is a mountain resort in the Cerdanya, in the municipality of Alp, and FGC Turisme, which runs it, places it inside the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. In winter it has 71 km of runs on 66 slopes, with a snowpark and a superpipe. Together with Masella, its neighbor in Alp, it makes up the Alp 2500 ski domain, which FGC gives as 145 km of slopes. The resort has hosted the Alpine Ski World Cup (2008), the Snowboard World Championships (2011) and the FIS Para Snowboard World Championships (2023).
The road estimate on this page goes north on the C-16, the Eix del Llobregat, through the Berguedà, and turns onto the C-162 and then the GIV-4082 for the final climb to La Molina. For the Generalitat de Catalunya, the C-16 between Berga and Bagà is the principal road joining Barcelona and Central Catalonia with the Cerdanya, by way of the Cadí tunnel. It also warns that winter volumes on that stretch can make the trip take three times as long, with the worst of it northbound on Friday afternoons and southbound on Sunday afternoons. A private transfer takes you from your address in Barcelona to the one you give at La Molina, and your preferred departure time goes in the request.
Start of the journey
Pickup in Barcelona
Collection is at the address you give in Barcelona: a hotel, a rented apartment or your home. Send it with the date, the number of guests and the time you would like to leave.
Landing at Barcelona Airport and heading straight up to the snow? The Barcelona Airport to La Molina transfer starts at the terminal; include your flight number in that request.
End of the journey
Arrival in la Molina
Drop-off is at the address you name at La Molina: a hotel, an apartment block or the base of the slopes. The estimate ends at La Molina, a hamlet of Alp, so an address elsewhere in the Cerdanya changes the drive.
Staying in Masella, Puigcerdà or Bellver de Cerdanya instead? Each has its own route page, linked below, with its own road estimate.

Why book a private chauffeur
Plan around the C-16 peaks
Winter Friday afternoons northbound and Sunday afternoons southbound are the busiest times on the Berga to Bagà stretch, according to the Generalitat. Put the time that suits you in the request with that in mind.
Boards and boots on the list
Say how many ski or snowboard bags and boot bags travel with your group, along with the suitcases, so the quote covers everything.
A stop in the Berguedà
The C-16 passes Berga on the way north. If you want a break there, or somewhere else on the route, add it to the request.
Return from la Molina to Barcelona
There is no separate page for the la Molina to Barcelona transfer. Ask for the return in the same request, with its date and time, and we quote both directions.
