I had a great experience. The ski resort is newbie friendly. Our Ski instructor Jesus is great, motivational and very helpful. I enjoy my first ski experience. ❤️ It’s also not that far from Madrid, so definitely a place I will go back to every year.
We had a great time is the bottom line. Reading all reviews sums it up well; it's a nice beautiful mid sized resort with lots of parking, some are free(!). The staff are nice and the prices, apart from the ski pass(!!) are reasonable, from accommodation to renting to restaurants. It is suitable for mid-level skiing/snowboarding; indeed most slopes start relatively steep and it's impossible to navigate the site with only blue ones. They do, however, keep the open slope count falsely high as some chairlifts or even slopes are in fact closed/unreachable. I came end of season so it was super nice and chill with few people, but high season here sounds a bit much. Lower the ski pass prices, be truthful about which slopes are really open&reachable and limit entrance in high season and it's a great resort. Definitely worth the visit if you're passing by, but definitely go to a French resort if you arrive by a plane anyway.
Excellent! Massive resort perfectly organised. You can choose from different valleys and slopes. Many parking lots make everything easier. It's a must if you are visiting the Pyrenees. It's really close to the France border, if you want to visit it. Prices may vary depending on the date. Weekends are usually busier and the fort-fait is more expensive. However highly recommended.
Good ski resort, especially for beginners as most are short runs. More advanced skiers/boarders will do the full resort in 2 or 3 days. Worth it for a short visit though. Everything reasonably priced from lift pass to food. No rip offs like in France.
This is an amazing place for skiing on the North of Spain. You can rent an apartment in one of the towns not too far from the ski station and get there by car everyday. If you stay in Panticosa, you’d be able to jump on a ski lift that will get you to one of the ski stations for where you’d be able to get to the hills. Ski tracks are perfect as for beginners and for advanced skiers. There is canteen and few places to eat or have a drink on the hills. If you are traveling with a kid, there’s a kindergarten that will take care of your kid and even teach him how to ski in Anayet. I would definitely recommend this place for families, for those who are skiing with kids and not, basically for everyone. And we would definitely come back!
I really appreciate the truth, here you won’t have those ones. They provide fake open slopes, they open slopes with no lifts to reach there to increase the kilometres of ski opened, they charge you the same price despite they have only 3 lifts open and less snow that my refrigerator. Go to the alps if possible, don’t waste money
We go every year during Feb... Semana Blanca. Great place with many pistas de ski for all levels
Amazing place to enjoy the snow. Quite easy to get there driving. Very large parking lot and easy to access and stay. There are few places to take some appetizers, finger food and drinks. The Ski is good enough and you also can take some clases in advance if you take a ticket for it.

Rented a pair of skis, here last season I’m a very experienced skier and the team at Nepal listened to me and provided the precise ski’s and boots I was looking for! They were very friendly and even offered to change them after I tried them should I need to! Excellent Profesional and human treatment, which is rare enough at ski rentals this day and age! I’ll be back in a couple of weeks and I’ll be definitely calling in for a pair of Skis!
Great shop, small but super friendly.
I would rate 10 stars if i could. Very good service. Very welcoming and polite staff. High quality equipment. In the centre of formigal with easy access. Could have had a better experience, definitely recommend.
Very good availability, support and consultancy. Although it is the end of the season, renting material in good condition and good offers. I recommend booking in advance as it allows the team to better prepare the material.
(Translated by Google) 5 stars because it couldn't be more, GREAT experience, everyone who attended them was very charming and friendly, excellent quality material and ideal location! They have the most comfortable ski boots I have ever rented in my life by far and they have large sizes for very tall people who are not found everywhere (50-52). Many thanks to the ski guy for being happy to give us some nice skis to match!! It was our first time in Formigal, we will definitely repeat and recommend them. ❤️ (Original) 5 estrellas porque no se puede mas, BUENISIMA la experiencia, todos los que los atendieron muy encantadores y amables, material de excelente calidad y ubicación ideal! Tienen las botas de esquís mas cómodas que he alquilado en mi vida con diferencia y tienen tallas grandes para personas muy altas que no en todos lados se encuentran (50-52). Muchas gracias al chico de los esquís por complacernos en darnos unos esquís lindos que nos combinaran!! Fue nuestra primera vez en Formigal, sin duda repetiremos y los recomendaremos. ❤️
(Translated by Google) The material is good, and is kept in good condition, also with the best prices in the area. But what really makes the difference is the excellent service they give you. Highlights: - Salva: Who advised us on the most convenient material very kindly, and solved an error we had in the reservation. - The manager, who had no problem making a couple of changes to the material. - Cande (Aka Maria de la Candelaria THANK YOU, we will return next year for sure. (Original) El material es bueno, y está conservado en buenas condiciones, ademas con los mejores precios de la zona. Pero lo que marca realmente la diferencia es el excelente servicio que te dan. A destacar: - Salva: Quien nos asesoró sobre el material mas conveniente con mucha amabilidad, y solucionó un error que tuvimos en la reserva. - El encargado, que no tuvo problema en hacernos un par de cambios en el material. - Cande (Aka Maria de la Candelaria XD) que se pasó el juego del "servicio excelente" , y que sin quitarse la sonrisa de la cara ni un segundo, no solo nos atendió genial, sino que ademas nos dió recomendaciones TOP para salir, y comer. GRACIAS, volvemos el año que viene seguro.
(Translated by Google) A phenomenal place to rent skis, nowhere have we been treated so well. Upon arriving without a reservation, they attended to us immediately, measuring our foot size to find the ideal boot size and equipment. The quality of the snow equipment and the mid-range ski equipment were more than good, good quality equipment and perfectly maintained. Also, the second day we went to ask for a replacement of boots because they were very wet and they didn't cause any problems. Special thanks to Nerea😃 We will return next year without hesitation. (Original) Un sitio fenomenal para alquilar esquí, en ningún sitio nos han tratado tan bien. Al llegar sin reserva nos atendieron al momento, nos midieron el tallaje de pie para encontrar el tamaño de bota y el equipo ideal. La calidad del equipo de snow y el de gama media de esquí fueron más que buenos, equipo de buena calidad y con un mantenimiento perfecto. Además, el segundo día fuimos a pedir un recambio de botas porque estaban muy mojadas y no pusieron ningún problema. Agradecimiento especial a Nerea😃 Volveremos el año que viene sin dudar.

(Translated by Google) It is worth climbing the Foratata hill; You can go from Formigal or from Sallent de Gallego. The views are spectacular even without reaching the peak. There is a circular wikiloc route leaving from Sallent, passing through the Sarra reservoir, Ministirio valley, hill and returning through Formigal with unbeatable views and landscapes. It can be done running for those who like trail running. (Original) Merece la pena subir al collado Foratata; se puede ir desde Formigal o desde Sallent de Gallego. Las vistas son espectaculares aún sin llegar al pico. Hay una ruta circular en wikiloc saliendo de Sallent, pasando por el embalse la Sarra, valle Ministirio, collado y volviendo por Formigal con vistas y paisajes inmejorables. Se puede hacer corriendo para los que le gusta el trail.
(Translated by Google) Spectacular!! What an incredible place! (Original) Espectacular!! Vaya paraje tan incredible!
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful place to start the route from Formigal itself and it is very important to climb on clear days to be able to see all the peaks of the Tena Valley, many of them over 3000 meters. The route to the hill itself usually takes about an hour or so. (Original) un lugar muy bonito para empezar la ruta desde el mismo Formigal y muy importante subir en días despejados para poder divisar todas las cumbres del Valle de Tena muchas de ellas de más de 3000 metros. La ruta hasta el mismo collado suele ser de entre una hora más o menos.
(Translated by Google) The panoramic view from the rock is incredible! With views of Balaitus and Anayet among others. (Original) La vista panorámica desde la peña es increíble! Con vistas al Balaitus y Anayet entre otros.
