Formigal-Panticosa equipment rental

Formigal-Panticosa has its own equipment rental service, run by the resort, with pick-up points at five bases: Sextas, Anayet, Sarrios and Portalet, in the Formigal sector, and Panticosa. The advantage is that the equipment waits for you at the same resort where you are going to ski and that you can book it together with the lift pass.

Prices per day

The resort publishes these rates per person per day:

• Complete adult ski equipment: €21; high-end, €31.
• Complete children's ski equipment: €15.50.
• Adult touring ski equipment: €32.50.
• Skis and poles only: €18 for adults, €19 high-end and €13 for children.
• Ski boots: €13.
• Complete snowboard equipment: €23 for adults and €19 for children.
• Board only: €19 for adults and €15 for children; snowboard boots, €13.
• Ski or snowboard helmet: €5.

Complete ski equipment includes skis, poles and boots, and snowboard equipment, board and boots. With the complete snowboard equipment, the resort highlights a saving of €5. Age is counted by year of birth: in the current season, adult rate for those born between 1962 and 2014 and children's for those born between 2015 and 2020.

How to book

On the Aramón website you choose the resort, the date and the equipment, and they leave it ready for you to collect at the base. You can rent from one to seven days, and also buy the lift pass and the rental in a single process. All equipment includes, at no extra cost, an Ingood by Reale Seguros insurance for accidental damage. For specific rental questions, the resort gives the telephone 679 897 212 and the email [email protected]; the booking centre answers on 974 498 282.

If you rent for several days, you can leave the equipment overnight in the resort's designated spaces and not carry it back to the hotel. The website does not detail the conditions of that storage: ask when you collect the equipment.

Which base to choose

Choose the pick-up point according to where you park and where you want to start. If you sleep in the Formigal development, Sextas and Anayet are handy with the free bus to the slopes, which links the development with Sextas-Anayet. If you stay in Panticosa, collect at the Panticosa base, and the same free bus takes you to Formigal if one day you want to change sector without moving the car.

What to combine it with

To get to know the resort, its sectors and the lift passes, see Skiing at Formigal-Panticosa. If you rent touring equipment, the waymarked ski touring routes at Panticosa are the place to try it out. With children who do not yet ski, Petrosos Park, above the Panticosa gondola, and NieveAventura at the Portalet offer sledges and snow games.
