Families with small children

In the Panticosa sector, where the gondola that climbs from the village to the resort ends, Formigal-Panticosa has Petrosos Park: an area for sliding down on different types of sledge and another for playing in the snow and making snowmen. It is designed for families, although the resort says people of all ages enjoy it. The sledge run opens from 11:30 to 15:30.

What there is

There are two separate spaces. The sledge run is an area exclusively for sliding, and the play area is for touching the snow, building and making snowmen. It is a plan for those who do not ski or for a restful morning with children. The good thing about its location is that you do not have to drive to another base: you take the gondola from Panticosa and when you get out you are already in the park.

Price and booking

The resort sells two packages per day, with the gondola ride included:

  • Gondola + sledges: €20.50 for ages 12 to 64; €18 for ages 6 to 11.
  • Gondola + sledges + meal: €29.50 for ages 12 to 64; €27 for ages 6 to 11.

Book online, on the Aramón website, by choosing the date; when buying the lift pass online it can also be added. It can be cancelled free up to 48 hours ahead. The resort also offers, as an extra, on-piste health assistance insurance.

With children

There is no minimum age, but the resort recommends that under-4s go down with an adult. Bring waterproof clothing, gloves and sunglasses, as for any day in the snow. The 2026-2027 Formigal-Panticosa season was announced to start on Friday 27 November; check the Aramón website for which zones are open on the day you go.

For the rest of the day, see skiing at Formigal-Panticosa or, in the Portalet valley, the NieveAventura snow park. The free bus to the slopes links Panticosa with Sallent and Formigal.
