La Molina is a ski resort in the Pyrenees mountains of northeastern Spain, in the municipality of Alp in the comarca of Cerdanya in Girona, Catalonia. Together with Masella, it forms the Alp 2500 resort.
It is the site of the first ski lift in Spain, opened on 28 February 1943, and Spain's first ski school, which opened a year later.
It is served by a RENFE / Rodalies train station.
