United under the name 100K the resorts of the Aragon Valley have joined together to give a better experience. This is undoubtedly the great novelty of these two neighboring resorts.

The name 100K comes from the 101 skiable kilometers in its 102 slopes (15 green, 30 blue, 38 red, 19 black and a total of 14 itineraries) that count between the two, a not inconsiderable amount. If we add to this the environment, we have some very interesting resorts for the practice of alpine skiing. How to get there? It is accessed thanks to 40 different lifts, where there are conveyor belts, ski lifts and chairlifts for 2, 3 and 4 skiers.

We continue with the resorts that are part of the Aramon group: Cerler and the merger of Formigal Panticosa.

Formigal-Panticosa Resort

Located in the Alto Gállego, specifically in the Tena Valley, is the Formigal-Panticosa resort, which until 2015, snow lovers will remember, were two independent resorts. Panticosa and its two valleys, Sabocos and Petrosos, joined the four of Formigal (Portalet, Anayet, Izas and Tres Hombres) turning the villages of the valley into the base of the resort with the largest domain in kilometers of our country in its day.

«The future is a large domain to be able to compete with Andorra and the others. To attract the international public,» commented Joaquín del Rincón, Marketing Director of Aramón Formigal-Panticosa in those years.

They currently have 182 ski kilometers, with 147 slopes, two of which are new and located in the Lapazuso valley (12 green, 36 blue, 52 red and 42 black), and 5 different itineraries.

A wide surface whose highest point is at 2265 meters and the lowest at 1145 meters.
Both resorts are connected by a «ski-bus», which connects Formigal with Panticosa and vice versa.
