Get to know the resort

Formigal is loud, friendly and unmistakably Spanish: long lunches, later starts and an après scene that spills out into the snow. The terrain is broad and intermediate-friendly, linked to Panticosa, and it draws a young Madrid and Zaragoza crowd more than international visitors.
