Get to know the resort
Astún was built in the 1970s in a sunny side-valley right beside Candanchú, sharing the same reliable Somport snow but with a tidy, modern, slope-side layout. Its 50 km of piste suit families and intermediates particularly well, with broad, well-groomed runs rising to 2300 m and a couple of steeper challenges off the top. Most lodging sits a snowball's throw from the lifts, and a single combined pass with Candanchú opens up the whole pass for keener skiers.
Good to know
- The terrain is well balanced: 5 green, 12 blue, 14 red and 4 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
- The base sits at 1700 m and the top reaches 2300 m, a profile that holds snow well across a normal winter (score 80/100).
- With 50 km of piste on 13 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know in a long weekend.
- The lifts typically turn for about 17 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
