A hidden gem of the Pyrenees, Panticosa was the traditional mountain retreat for the rich and influential of Spanish society of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The unspoilt harmony of the traditional mountain architecture of the village itself and the stately silhouettes of the spa complex give an air of grandeur and history to the valley.

A five-minute gondola ride from the heart of this peaceful setting at 1,160 metres to an altitude of 1,900 metres reveals a jealously guarded secret – a modern ski resort equipped with the latest technological advances.

Panticosa is proud of its facilities and to avoid overcrowding of the resort there is a limit of 3,500 visitors per day.

The on-piste facilities include a nursery and a pizza restaurant with panoramic views of the slopes, bar, cafeteria, ski-hire shop and a boutique with the latest in skiwear design.

Accommodation ranges from luxurious four and five-star hotels in the spa complex to three-star, family-run hotels where personal attention makes the guest feel right at home.

The nearby ski resort of Formigal provides additional options such as dog-sled and skidoo rides.
