What visitors say about the resort
Formigal is praised for its size - the largest ski area in the Spanish Pyrenees, with around 150 km of pistes - and for prices that are noticeably lower than on the French side. Visitors highlight the wide open slopes and strong snowpark.
The main complaints concern the weather and wind: the ski area lies above the tree line, so visibility disappears in bad weather and the lifts are closed. The village is also described as unremarkable, with little evening life. Visitors also complain about crowded car parks at weekends.
