Formiguères is a village resort in the Capcir; the lifts rise from the edge of the village, with lodging a short walk or drive away.
Formiguères sits on the high Capcir plateau, one of the sunniest and snowiest pockets of the eastern Pyrenees, just a few kilometres from Les Angles. Its 25 km of piste wind through pine forest from 1700 m up to 2350 m, sheltered, gentle and very family-friendly, with a quiet old Catalan village at the base. It is a low-key, affordable spot for relaxed skiing away from the crowds, and a good pairing with the Capcir's nordic trails and snowshoe routes.
