Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
Ski & Snowboard Areas
ARAMON Formigal is a premier winter sports destination in Spain, offering 137 skiable kilometers and modern facilities. It caters to professionals, free riders, and families with tobogganing and a kids' area. Visitors can rent apartments in nearby towns like Panticosa for easy access to the ski station. The resort features well-maintained ski tracks suitable for all skill levels.
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.
Suzette L — Google review
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.
Guy M — Google review
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.
HP J — Google review
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.
Sean H — Google review
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!
Kamilya I — Google review
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
Tomás T — Google review
We go every year during Feb... Semana Blanca. Great place with many pistas de ski for all levels
Tony F — Google review
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.

Bar
Marchica Après-ski is a lively and popular spot located at Formigals Sextas base area, offering a unique post-ski experience. It features an airy rustic space with a spacious terrace where skiers can enjoy cocktails and live DJ music after the lifts close for the day. This après-ski hangout is known for its vibrant atmosphere, attracting young crowds looking to unwind and have fun in the afternoon.
SO MUCH FUN. Cool entertainment. Fun dj
Jordan N — Google review
If I gotta judge like a bar it's just 3/5. Very priceay and nothing especial. The best indeed its location. If I gotta review this place like a pub then is 5/5. Nice live music with good DJ and landscape is simple amazing "tomorrow land of Aragon".
Rutas A — Google review
Every year this place seems to cost more and offer less. The main DJ "mixes" commercial music, cheesy but entertaining nevertheless. The previous DJ actually mixes but they lower their volume way down for the 'wow' effect when the main dj kicks in. If you need to resort to volume to pump the people up you are doing it wrong. The event is pricey for less than 4 hours of party, drinks of course are also pricey but nevertheless it's going to be the biggest party you can find in the whereabouts.
Hugo L — Google review
Fun place to enjoy an Après-ski. They have a DJ, there's a bar to order a number of drinks. Overall, this is full of young people wanting to enjoy their afternoon. It is generally packed during the weekend. You need to have a ski pass to get in. Recommended.

Mountains
Peña Foratata stands as a majestic sentinel over the Tena Valley, steeped in local legend. According to folklore, it represents the heart of Culibillas, who sacrificed herself to protect her valley from danger. This enchanting site is not only rich in stories but also offers breathtaking views of towering peaks exceeding 3000 meters. The trek from Formigal to Peña Foratata typically takes about an hour and is best enjoyed on clear days for optimal visibility.
(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.

Onintze I — Google review
(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.

Jose P — Google review
Best food in Formigal for sure, best restaurant I've been in a long time. The staff are incredibly nice, the music is chilled out, but the food, oh the food. I think I'll be dreaming of that tuna tataki and the octopus for many days to come.
Joana G — Google review
Nice food but terrible service. Waiter told us to tell him all we needed at once because "he did not want to come back"... Food was very good but and on the table beside us the waiter took one piece (with his hand) out of their plate because "they had paid only for 3 pieces" Hence, good food horrendous service.

(Translated by Google) A great, smiling welcome. Top service and excellent cuisine. I appreciated the fact that they spoke to us in Spanish and French. I would come back and recommend this restaurant ☺️ (Original) Un accueil super, souriant. Le service au top et la cuisine excellente. J'ai appréciée le fait qu'ils nous parlent en espagnol et en français. Je reviendrais et je recommande ce restaurant ☺️
Audrey C — Google review
(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. We booked a lunch with four friends and it was a great choice. A small place with a covered terrace. Family-run, the menu isn't extensive, but everything was delicious. Service was top-notch. We ordered tomato salad, artichokes, pork shoulder, and cachopo. (Original) Muy recomendable. Reservamos para comer 4 amigas y fue un acierto. Local pequeño con terraza cubierta. Negocio familiar, la carta no es muy extensa pero todo estaba muy rico. Atención de 10. Pedimos ensalada de tomate, alcachofas, presa y cachopo.

(Translated by Google) Mandatory appointment if you come to Formigal. The meat is spectacular, it doesn't fail... homemade desserts, and professional yet familiar service. Thank you!! (Original) Cita obligatoria si vienes a Formigal. La carne espectacular, no falla... postres caseros, y un servicio profesional a la par que familiar. Gracias!!

(Translated by Google) Great discovery in Formigal. The waiter's attention was wonderful, recommending us and explaining the entire menu to us. We tried the cachopo, and it was spectacular (even the potatoes!), and he also invited us to try some off-the-menu croquettes :). A 10 for the attention received and for the food! Very good quality-price. To repeat (Original) Gran descubrimiento en Formigal. La atención del camarero fue maravillosa, recomendándonos y explicándonos toda la carta. Probamos el cachopo,y estaba espectacular ( hasta las patatas!) , y además nos invitó a probar unas croquetas fuera de carta :) . Un 10 para la atención recibida y para la comida! Calidad -precio muy buena. Para repetir

If you're looking for a delightful dining experience after a day of outdoor adventures, Pizza Arrigal is the place to be! Nestled in Formigal, this charming eatery offers an impressive menu featuring delicious pizzas and fresh salads that are perfect for sharing. The goat cheese salad stands out as a must-try dish. Guests rave about the crisp pizza crust and flavorful toppings, making each bite a treat.
The dough is very good, salsa and pepperoni all was great !
Bader R — Google review
Went there for early dinner after a day of hiking and we were very pleased with our experience. The staff was very helpful and nice and the food was very good. Goat cheese salad was outstanding and good for sharing. The pizza crust was crisp and they were delicious as well! A very pleasant experience!
William M — Google review
The pizza and salads are really good, and the price is fair considering Formigal average restaurants which usually are more expensive. They have a good selection of wines. At high season you have to book in advance.
Magdalena R — Google review
Great place. Food is awesome. Pizzas and salads great. And service is the best in town. Must go!!!! Apparently they changed owners and chefs recently and it has really improved so dont trust old reviews!
Cristina I — Google review
The water was good... Joke aside, please send an Italian Team in this place to explain them that pizza is crusty.. carbonara has ham/bacon and that seafood pasta has seafood in it. This restaurant is a disgraceful place for the price asked. The positive comments below can only be from good friends or customers non aware of a good food experience yet. We tried to avoid this place at any cost but turned out to be the only one open... we are grateful they welcomed us but will use this experience to warn anyone to book ahead another place ahead whenever possible.
Paul R — Google review
The pasta was awful, and the salads too. Pizza was reasonable. Deserts were bad too. Also very expensive, and the first time I saw in Spain that IVA (value added tax) was not included in the prices. Skip it.
Eddy D — Google review
Not worthy at all. The pizza was only OK. The place was packed so I ordered it to go. The staff was rude and the VAT (IVA) was not included in the price and it didn't say so anywhere. Prices in Spain have to have the VAT included, this place is just trying to scam you.
Martín B — Google review
Rude service, most reviews say the pizza is not worth it anyways. I walked in here and ordered a beer, but realized I was in the wrong restaurant. I quickly drank my beer and asked to pay, and the waitress and staff were incredibly rude about my mistake. The unfortunate thing was that I was going to eat here the following day because I love pizza after skiing...not doing it now, and I suggest you don't eat here either.
