The village was built on the slope itself, so ski-in/ski-out is the rule rather than the exception.
The highest village in the Spanish Pyrenees keeps things small and traditional, with stone houses and the great bulk of Aneto for a backdrop. It is a friendly, no-frills choice for families and intermediates who want authentic Spanish mountain life over resort gloss.
