Formigal

About the ski resort Formigal

For a complete experience on and off the slopes, the ultra-modern ski station and stylish purpose-built resort of Formigal is the perfect choice. Formigal is the largest, most complete ski-station in the entire Pyrenees with 105.5 kilometres of slopes and itineraries served by the latest advances in ski resort technology. Ideal for the beginner and the expert skier alike, the modern ski facilities provide some of the best skiing in the Pyrenees. The immaculately groomed pistes, with unsurpassable levels of safety and comfort, are equipped with a high-capacity lift system and the comfortable hands-free lift passes incorporate a system which prevents inadvertent access to slopes beyond the abilities of the skier. In the search for excellence, Formigal constantly updates its facilities and activities to offer all the latest trends in winter sports.
This season, for the more daring, the new Bordercross area has marked tracks with banked turns for the exhilaration of high-speed competitive descent and the Snowpark, opened in 2005/2006, caters for snowboarders. From the adrenalin-charged experience of driving a dog-sled or skidoo to enjoying a drink on the panoramic sun-deck, there is something for everyone in Formigal. There are original and entertaining activities such as the Nanook experience or hands-on activities for children and families, and the unique experience of night skiing.
Formigal is a resort with the atmosphere of a traditional mountain village where modern 4-star hotels blend in with the traditional local architecture. Inside there are magnificent suites overlooking the slopes, gourmet restaurants and extensive wine cellars. The exclusive spa facilities and heated swimming pools provide a relaxing atmosphere to pamper yourself in the lap of luxury. The welcoming atmosphere of the 3-star hotels is perfect for families, providing connecting rooms, supervised activities and menus with both children and adults in mind. The key to Formigal’s success is its privileged situation. A stone’s throw from the slopes means that a skiing holiday can be combined with winery visits and wine-tasting, a round of golf on an Olazábal-designed golf course, excursions to local places of interest and picture-postcard beauty, LaCuniacha wildlife park, ice skating and shopping trips.
