Aragon Guide

Aragon provides exceptional conditions for practicing ski and snow sports. The snow in Aragon is a strong attraction: seven alpine ski resorts and nine areas for cross country skiing, with more than 300 kilometres of ski slopes.

Among the ski resorts in the Pyrenees in the Jaca-Huesca area is Candanchu, the most veteran of the Aragon Pyrenees. Next to the Somport pass, we find Astun, surrounded by mountains and protected from the wind. Formigal, with its extensive hotel infrestructure, is the sight of international competitions. Panticosa is a family oriented ski resort that preserves the typical mountain traditions. The most rugged is Cerler with its privileged natural surroundings. The resorts in the Iberian Mountains are close to Teruel, including Valdelinares, a beautiful landscape in the Sierra de Gudar for intermediate skiers. The newest member among the Aragon ski resorts is Javalambre.

The Aragon Pyrenees (where the majority of the three-thousands of the whole Pyrenees can be found), the Iberian mountain ranges (Moncayo) or the mountain ranges of Teruel, such as Albarracin, Javalambre, Maestrazgo and Gudar, offer us the best scenario to satisfy all our desires of adventure sports, going for short walks through luxuriant woods, visiting small mountain lakes, going on crossings or climbing up hills and peaks.

The massifs of Maladeta and Posets, the valleys of Ordesa and Tena or the valleys of the Aragon Pyrenees are some of the areas where you can go to to practise snow sports.
