  • The Aragonese Pyrenees is without a doubt a strong destination for ski lovers. It is worth choosing Aragón to practice your favorite snow sport.

  • Thank you for writing about Aragon, so unknown to many.
    I want to point out that if you want to ski in Panticosa you don't need to go to the spa, access to the ski resort is in the town itself, where there are good hotels and there are no accessibility problems in winter.
