Formigal Ski Resort

Formigal-Panticosa has 182 km (113 mi) of marked pistes. The highest point is Tres Hombres peak at 2,250 m (7,380 ft) above sea level, with a vertical drop of 740 m (2,430 ft); the majority of its slopes face north and northeast.

The base of the resort is a purpose-built town which includes several hotels and apartments at 1,500 m (4,920 ft). From there an 8-seat chairlift provides the main access for the resort. Prior to 2004 this access was provided by a gondola, informally called "El huevo" (The egg) by its users. The resort itself occupies five different high mountain valleys, defining three sectors: Tres Hombres (Sextas), Izas-Sarrios, Anayet, El Portalet and "Panticosa". Each valley is accessible by car and a bus service, with a parking and service area at its base from where the chair lifts depart.

Formigal-Panticosa hosted the FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships in 2008, held in late February.
