Jaca – Astún – Candanchú Bus

To go up skiing from Jaca or Canfranc without a car there are two pieces to fit together: the regular bus line that climbs the Aragón valley to the resorts and the free 100K bus that links Astún and Candanchú during the season. Before you go, it is worth knowing that the regular line changed hands in 2026, so timetables and cards from previous years no longer work.

The regular Jaca – Astún – Candanchú line

Until spring 2026 the line was run by the Mancomunidad Alto Valle del Aragón. The Mancomunidad itself announced that it would stop providing the regular Astún – Jaca service (and also the Aísa – Jaca) from Monday 20 April 2026, to comply with the Gobierno de Aragón's concession rules, and that the service continues with the company Avanza. From that date the cards and top-ups issued by the Mancomunidad stopped being valid, so the ten-trip pass that circulated in previous seasons is no use.

For timetables, stops and prices of the line you have to ask Avanza: the Mancomunidad refers people to its customer service on 900 921 895 and 912 722 832. On the resort website, astuncandanchu.com, the line still appears in the how-to-get-there section, but the timetable it links to is the Mancomunidad's; confirm it with Avanza before planning your day, especially if you depend on the last bus down.

100K bus between Astún and Candanchú

The 100K bus is free and connects the two resorts, which together add up to the hundred kilometres of pistes that give it its name. It is organised by the Mancomunidad, the valley's town councils and the two resorts, with support from the Diputación Provincial de Huesca. It stops at Candanchú Pista Grande, at Candanchú Iglesia (the stop for the Tobazo chairlift) and at the Astún car park.

The latest timetable published on the resorts' and the Mancomunidad's websites is for the 2022/2023 season, so take it as a guide. On working days it left Candanchú Pista Grande at 8:45, 10:00, 11:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00, and Astún at 9:35, 10:35, 11:35, 13:35, 14:35, 15:35 and 16:35. On public holidays the frequency rose to a bus roughly every half hour, from 8:45 at Candanchú and until 17:00 at Astún. Before each season, check the notice at the ticket offices or ask at information.

Inside Candanchú there is also a free internal shuttle between the car parks and the access points to the pistes, useful if you park far from Pista Grande.

Practical tips

If you go by car, the resort gives these road distances: 137 km from Pamplona, 168 from Zaragoza, 382 from Barcelona and 503 from Madrid. The last stretch climbs along the road to France towards the Somport, and in winter its condition changes from one day to the next: the resort recommends checking road conditions at dgt.es before you leave.

If you are sleeping in Canfranc Estación, the Canfranc Tourist Office can tell you where the bus stops in the village. To choose a resort, see Skiing at Astún and Skiing at Candanchú; if you do not have equipment, Candanchú hire is at the Pista Grande base itself, next to the 100K stop. For questions about the bus between resorts, Astún can be reached on 974 373 088 and Candanchú on 974 373 194.
