SWAPPING their traditional rain dance for a snow dance, the Indians have arrived at Formigal.
The Poblado Indio or Indian village is the latest addition to the already varied range of bars, cafes and restaurants on offer on the slopes at Formigal.
The teepees are traditional Tomahoe tents with the largest reaching a height of 15m.
Inside the teepees have been decorated in true Indian style and can hold up to 40 people for lunch.
Outside there are long wooden tables and benches, a large drum and a splendid totem pole.
The specialities include winter warmers such as rum and milk, meats, broth and chips.
The snow in Formigal has been falling all week and there are fantastic depths of up to 130cm and beautiful powder snow, as can be seen in the photos.
The predictions are for yet more snow to fall and at heights as low as 400m.
Bookings made before the 15 January receive free ski or board hire and for the rest of the season (except half term) there are 2X1 lift passes and free lift passes for children.
More information about these great deals is available through Crystal, Neilson, Thomson, Igluski.com, Ifyouski.com, Ski World, Ski Tracer, Zenith Holidays and J2Ski.com. Flights to Formigal from London Gatwick can be booked through Satellite Travel.
