NieveAventura is the snow park the resort sets up in the Portalet valley, in the Formigal sector, for those who do not ski or want a different day out with children. The resort presents it with its "Snowy gang", snow characters that mark each zone and suggest a different way to play. You pay per day and book online.
The four zones
Explora, from age 6. A snowshoe route over the NieveAventura hillocks, waymarked with the Snowys so you do not lose the way, with a series of obstacles to get past. It is the sportiest part: you walk, get some exercise and see the Portalet landscape.
Descenso, for all ages. Slopes prepared for going down in ways other than skis: snowbike, snowscooter, classic sledge and skisledge. Children under 6 have to ride in the same sledge or tube as an adult.
Tirabolas, from age 4. A circuit by levels in which you make snowballs and throw them at different panels; it tests the aim of the whole family.
Play area, recommended for under-12s. Tools for modelling snowmen, castles or an igloo step by step, mounds to slide down with a sledge shovel, a mini tirabolas, tunnels to crawl through and a carousel.
What it costs
€15.80 for adults, from age 12, and €12 for ages 4 to 12, per day. Booking is done on the Aramón website by choosing the date, or it is added when buying the lift pass online, and it can be cancelled free up to 48 hours ahead; after that it is charged in full. The resort also offers, as an extra, on-piste health assistance insurance.
How to organise the day
The price is per day, so you can spread the day among the four zones. Bring waterproof snow clothing, spare gloves and sunglasses. The 2026-2027 Formigal-Panticosa season was announced to start on Friday 27 November; check the Aramón website for which zones open each day.
If an adult wants to ski in the meantime, see skiing at Formigal-Panticosa. For the youngest there is another sledging zone in the Panticosa sector, Petrosos Park. And with children aged 12 or over, the night sledge run is another plan.
