Canfranc Tourist Office

The Canfranc Tourist Office is in the town hall square of Canfranc Estación, in the centre of the village and a few steps from the great international station. It is run by the Ayuntamiento and is the place to go for two things: signing up for the guided tour of the station and getting answers about the Aragón valley, from walking routes to the ski resorts of Astún and Candanchú.

Office hours

The Ayuntamiento publishes two timetables. In summer it is open every day, from 9:30 to 14:00 and from 16:30 to 19:30. The rest of the year it is open Wednesday to Friday from 9:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00; on Saturdays from 9:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 19:30, and on Sundays only in the morning, from 9:00 to 14:00. Outside summer it is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Sunday afternoons. On holidays and public holidays there are special hours, so if you are going on a long weekend or at Christmas it is best to call first on 974 373 141 or write to [email protected].

The guided tour of the station

The office organises the guided tour of the International Station and is its meeting point: you meet ten minutes before the time at the door. The tour covers the exterior, the tracks and the platforms and crosses the lobby to the new station, because the rest of the historic building is now a hotel. Places are limited and are booked on the municipal website, canfranc.es, or on the office's phone; the details of duration, prices and booking are in the entry for the guided tour of the International Station. If you cannot get a place online, ask at the office about date changes, but do not count on buying tickets on the spot.

What else you will find

As well as valley information, the office sells souvenirs and books about the station and about Canfranc, a good way to take home the history of the Zaragoza–Pau railway and of the village that grew up around it. The municipal website also has an online shop section. The Ayuntamiento publicises activities and news on its social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube), which tend to be the quickest channel for finding out whether a tour has been suspended because of bad weather.

Tips for your visit

Canfranc Estación is small and can be explored on foot; if you arrive by car, park before entering the centre and walk to the town hall square. In ski season, the office can guide you on the bus to the pistes: see the entry for the Jaca – Astún – Candanchú bus, because the regular line changed company in April 2026.

To sleep next to the station, the Canfranc Estación, a Royal Hideaway Hotel occupies the historic building itself, and the Albergue Río Aragón is a simpler option. If you are travelling with children in winter, combine the visit with a morning at Candanchulandia.
