Dónde: Tena Valley

Formigal occupies the head of the Tena valley, below the Portalet pass, and Panticosa is a few kilometres lower down, in a side valley. Together they add up to 182 km, with many more red and black runs than green ones.

## Slopes, altitudes and lifts

182 km and 147 slopes: 11 green, 40 blue, 50 red and 41 black, plus 5 itineraries. There are 38 lifts, including an eight-seat gondola, an eight-seat chairlift and five six-seat ones, and 800 snow cannons. The altitude ranges from 1,145 to 2,265 metres. At Formigal there are several bases: Sextas, Anayet, Sarrios and Portalet; at Panticosa, the gondola leaves from the village.

## How much it costs

Aramón sells the lift pass by date and the price changes according to the day. In the 2025-26 season, the adult day pass was from €51.90 on the website or app and from €61 at the ticket office; in mid-November there was still no 2026-27 table published. Buy online in advance: it is the cheapest.

The resort's rental charges per day €21 for adult ski equipment, €31 for the high-end, €15.50 for children's and €23 for snowboard; a helmet, €5. You collect it at Sextas, Anayet, Sarrios, Portalet or Panticosa.

## Lessons

The Formigal sector has the Escuela Española de Esquí de Formigal: private lessons from €65 an hour and weekend courses of €100 for the two days. At Panticosa the Escuela Española de Esquí de Panticosa operates.

## Getting there and getting around

From Huesca, take the A-23 to Sabiñánigo and the A-136 through Biescas and the Tena valley to Formigal; from Zaragoza you add the motorway to Huesca. A free bus runs every day between the Formigal development and Sextas-Anayet, and another links Panticosa, Sallent and Formigal, with a stop at the Panticosa hotels.

## Off-piste

Outside the pistes and marked areas, check the Navarre and Aragon Pyrenees avalanche danger bulletin from AEMET beforehand, which is published daily in season on the European scale of 1 to 5.
