The Skiers' Guide to Fórmigal

Drove from Madrid for a quick day trip on the slopes, amazing runs - but difficult for immediate/beginner but good red and black runs
I think good for a short amount of time ie weekend trip or 3 days max but not any longer!

We for to formal for the day. Free parking right at the slopes, cheap ski hire with incredibly helpful and friendly staff to fitted mine and my partners skis and snowboard. Very impressed how many runs and lifts are open for the beginning of the season (6th Dec). Well groomed slopes and plenty for the advanced skier, lots of technical and interesting blacks and reds.

An abundance of pistes to choose from where there is good snowfall. Several restaurants to choose from with good, although expensive food. Lots of equipment hire options.

This resort was a wonderful experience for me and my family, we thoroughly enjoyed all the accommodations and especially the food lol!!! Runs were nice and we were able to get a couple side hits. Absolutely recommend!

Formigal is a ski resort that is booming in Spain, and now that it has been combined with Astún, it has many skiable kilometres. Even so, if you are looking only to ski, Baqueira is the best option for everyone in Spain, but if you are looking for a lot of partying, Formigal is the place to go, since the Marchica apres-ski discotheque is very famous and very good.
