More than 400 kilometres of ski slopes spread over six resorts make our community one of the country’s main skiing resorts. Either on the slopes of the Pyrenees or in the mountain range in Teruel, G\u00fadar-Javalambre, the beacons mark the path to be followed, on some occasions dizzying and on others gentle. Snow, sport and leisure come together during these months to provide the most diverse and intense pleasures.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The figures speak for themselves: Aragon is one of the tourist winter destinations par excellence. The first flurries of snow bring with them an incessant trail of lovers of skiing, mountains and any other activities that require having an endless white mantle that bathes summits, plains and slopes.<\/p>\n

Ast\u00fan and Candanch\u00fa in the valley of Aragon, Formigal-Panticosa in Tena, Cerler in Benasque and the Teruel resorts of Valdelinares and Javalambre, attract the attention of an increasingly numerous public, from the youngest to those who think that “it is never too late to start.”<\/p>\n

But in addition to skiing, the snow offers many other alternatives: sleigh rides, discovering remote spots on snowmobiles and walking in snowshoes are just some of the options that the Aragonese winter offers. And to round off a wonderful stay, the main areas, both in Huesca and Teruel, provide a complete infrastructure suitable for all audiences and pockets.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Skiing is still the undisputed king of the snow, but gradually a retinue of other disciplines are not far behind, both sporting and recreational. And the fact that there are as many options as requirements with which to complement or replace a day\u2019s skiing means that there is a myriad of alternatives available to satisfy all your needs.<\/p>\n

The French baptized it “apr\u00e8s ski”, a term that defines what remains to be done after skiing, and both the nomenclature and the meaning has been exported to all the winter resorts throughout the world.<\/p>\n

There are many other alternatives to end a day in the mountains or to leave aside downhill events to get the most out of the day with other activities. The Pyrenean mountain range on its way through Huesca, one of the white epicentres in the county, favours practically all possible options. Night skiing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, off-piste skiing, sleighing, skating, snowmobiles, all-terrain routes, snow bikes… a thousand experiences bestowing so many sensations.<\/p>\n

If winter brings with it these and other joys, simply enjoy what the snow makes available to those who come to it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Next to the small village of Piedrafita de Jaca, in the Tena Valley, this wildlife park not only concentrates its activities in the summer months but can also be visited in the winter. And nothing better than to do it with snowshoes along the trails that give life to this animated forest. At a height between 1,300 and 1,500 metres, the most enchanting animal species wait to be observed in their natural habitat. Pyrenean mountain goats, bison, wolves, lynxes and horses are, among others, some of the hosts that walk among birches, beeches, holly trees and oaks.<\/p>\n

For two or three hours, depending on your speed, the adventurer can plunge into a totally wild, virgin environment to experience one of the most endearing sensations of the Tena Valley.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Nordic skiing is a simple and accessible modality consisting of traversing on skis some established circuits, generally flat, with slight rises and descents. It does not differ much from Alpine skiing as far as equipment is concerned, but the main differences are the skis, which are narrower and more pointed, the fixings, adjusted at the front, and the boots, which are low and flexible. It can be practised in any of the mountain areas of Aragon: Fanlo \u2013 Valle de Vi\u00f3 (Fanlo), Linz (Anso), Lizara (Aragues del Puerto), Oza- Gabardito (Echo), Pineta (Bielsa), Llanos del Hospital (Benasque), the spa at Panticosa (Panticosa) and La Muela de San Juan (Sierra de Albarrac\u00edn)<\/p>\n

This is the modality that combines mountaineering and skiing whose skis are designed as a tool to reach the summit and descend freely by a route improvised by each mountaineer. It enables you to advance in deep snow without sinking. For this purpose, the skis have seal skins on the surface that adhere to the snow, which make it possible to advance gradually on the slope. Once at the summit, these materials are released to make a descent very similar to Alpine skiing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Alpine skiing that we know today came from this discipline. The fixings of the skis leave the heel free thus combining off-piste skiing and the Nordic method. When starting to ski, the first notions are how to learn to wedge turn and become familiar with the fastenings as the attachments only adhere to the front of the boot. From there, a half-bending position is adopted to focus the weight and thus achieve the greatest possible stability. It is certainly a peculiar form more like a dance with perfect movements.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The last form of gliding down a mountain. Instead of two, we only use one ski made out of materials such as carbon or kevlar, from which protrude two almost parallel fixings. Snowboarding has several peculiarities very similar to surfing, the funboard or skateboarding. The environment of this modality has brought with it many terms that define styles, zones or acrobatics so words like freeride, snowpark, handrail boardercross are already part of the language of the addicts of this doctrine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Surrounded by high peaks, under the protection of the winds, the first ski resort in the country, it is also the largest skiable area in all Aragon with 58 kilometres of marked pistes. In addition to Alpine skiing, Candanch\u00fa offers Nordic walking tours, thus extending its coverage and organization.<\/p>\n

The constant influx of skiers during the winter season and the celebration of various competitions demand of the experienced ski resort of Candanch\u00fa maximum dynamism, holder of Q certification for tourist quality awarded by the Spanish ICTE in 1999 and renewed in 2001.<\/p>\n

Names like Pista Grande, Tobazo, Tuca Blanca, Tortiellas or Zapatilla form the network of pistes and routes across its 58 skiable kilometres.<\/p>\n

Candanch\u00fa village is adjacent to the slopes so you can directly access the ski lifts leading to the resorts, summits and slopes. It has all the necessary services to complete an intense day of skiing, whether Alpine or cross-country skiing since it has Nordic circuits.<\/p>\n

The fact that Candanch\u00fa holds the record for being the oldest national resort serves as a guarantee to fully enjoy a day in the snow. It certainly represents a magnificent site for unlimited enjoyment.<\/p>\n

AST\u00daN: The latest in snowboarding<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In addition to its track record in Alpine skiing, Ast\u00fan has opened up new horizons with the creation of a snow park, an area for winter surf lovers which is the main centre in this season.<\/p>\n

In April 1970 several forestry engineers came together in Ast\u00fan to start work on creating a ski slope that six years later witnessed how that pioneering project came to fruition with the launching of the current resort.<\/p>\n

At the French frontier and 30 kilometres from Jaca, Ast\u00fan is set out in a west-to-east orientation which serves to avoid strong currents of air and excessive sunshine keeping the snow in perfect conditions.<\/p>\n

A snowpark designed for snowboard lovers has been added to the infrastructure of this enclave that includes, along with the slopes, among others, a ski jump. There, the half-pipe serves as a frame for performing incredible jumps and impossible pirouettes.<\/p>\n

Ast\u00fan has thrived with the passage of time to accommodate all types of skiers with facilities for all tastes.<\/p>\n

Aramon FORMIGAL-PANTICOSA: in the heart of the Tena Valley<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Skiing in the Tena Valley, almost verging on the French border, comes from Formigal and Panticosa, which today form a single resort. Its capacity, infrastructure and services put it in the sights of many skiers who find in its pistes a white world full of dizzying sensations.<\/p>\n

Formigales, the Aragonese resort with the largest skiable area, is located at the end of Sallent de G\u00e1llego and reaches a maximum height of 2,200 metres. It was created in 1964 and since then has never ceased to seduce skiers and adventurers. This winter resort brings together other important activities such as night skiing, an extremely\u00a0\u00a0 inviting activity, which extends its capacity for greater enjoyment over a longer period.<\/p>\n

Panticosa is one of the veteran Pyrenean resorts, with more than 30 years of history, whose constant evolution has resulted in a substantial improvement of services and facilities. It represents a great option for the practice of Alpine skiing and snowboarding, among others, with a network of slopes in which moderate slopes coexist with other steeper ones.<\/p>\n

It is one of the resorts preferred by families and a reference point for adults and children. Panticosa, village and resort, share the spot from where the ski lift departs and flows into the main area of the resort. From there, branches lead off to the valley of Sabocos, to the Petrosos area and to many other areas with a complete network of drag and ski lifts.<\/p>\n

Aramon CERLER: The Valley of Benasque<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the municipality of Benasque, amid peaks exceeding three thousand metres, the white slopes of La Gallinera, the highest elevation, and their adjoining summits outline the layout of the winter resort of Cerler, one of the most imposing of those existing in Aragon due to its altitude and landscape.<\/p>\n

Forty-five pistes accessed by seventeen ski lifts, including chairlifts, teleskis and conveyor belts cover a skiable surface of 52 kilometres. The story of Cerler began with its construction in 1970 and in its more than 30 years of existence has managed to find its place within the universe of winter resorts that the Aragonese Pyrenees offer.<\/p>\n

To cope with this enormous demand, the resort has a capacity that exceeds twenty thousand skiers spread across the various sectors such as Cerler or Ampriu. Blue, green, red and black pistes serve as a multi-coloured fan down which to descend offering greater or lesser difficulty from the 2,630 metres of the highest elevation, to the 1,500 at the starting point. To counteract the mild winters, Cerler has a complete system of artificial snow to ensure perfect and profitable skiing.<\/p>\n

These are sufficient arguments for going to Benasque and, from there, glide along the beaconed pistes of Cerler, or practise the vast number of winter disciplines offered by both the resort and the valley.<\/p>\n
