Formigal becomes largest Ski Resort in Spain
With a record ski area of 137 km Formigal speeds into the lead to become Spain’s largest ski resort
With 25km of new pistes this season Formigal now has a total of 130km of slopes and 7km of itineraries making it the largest resort in the whole of Spain.
Formigal, in the central Spanish Pyrenees, also boasts four interlinked valleys offering a wider scope for skiing, as well as two snowparks, heliskiing and, also new for this season, a bump ski run.
Formigal, along with the resorts of Cerler and Panticosa, is part of Spain’s largest ski group, Aramon, which has invested more than €120 million over the past four years to make their destinations modern, efficient resorts.
The Aramon Group, which runs a total of five ski resorts in Spain, is half owned by the Aragon government and half Ibercaja bank. Over the past four seasons Aramon has been replacing its lifts with the latest ultra-modern detachable chairlifts to take skiers swiftly and smoothly up the mountain.
The high-capacity lifts and the latest in safety technology are combined with snow cannons to guarantee perfect snow conditions throughout the season for some of the most challenging skiing around.
Alongside this is accommodation for every budget including luxury spa hotels and restaurants featuring the local wines and gastronomy.
For more information visit the Aramon stand at the Global Snow shows at GMEX Manchester (6-7 October) and the NEC Birmingham (2-4 November), the Metro Ski and Snowboard Show at London’s Olympia (24-28 October) or the World Travel Market at Excel (12-15 November)
