Formigal Ski Resort

This is the second consecutive year that I have been to Formigal and, once more, I came back delighted. I can’t say one negative word about the place, the installations, the service, the countryside, the pistes, the restaurants, etc.

Today, watching a photographic report by a friend who had been in Aspen, I came to a clear conclusion, Formigal has a huge potential. This, if it is well managed, is only the beginning.

Nowadays, it is the perfect station if you are looking for a good family skiing holiday. If what you are looking for is a little of exciting après ski, you should opt for the Sierra Nevada.

What? You don’t know what "tobogganing" consists of? Then relax because now I will explain and show videos so you get a better idea.

Summing up, it is a night time descent in an individual wooden sleigh on the 2’5 km ski piste in Formigal. But it is much more than this, it includes a delicious dinner, and truly, it is a unique experience.

To give you an idea, first, about 19:00 we went up on the ski lift to the Cantal restaurant, where we had dinner. Once it was finished, and I was so full that I could hardly move, we took the sleighs. Of course, before beginning the adventure, since usually nobody had done it before, they told us how to use the sleigh. Between 21:00 and 22:00 we began the descent from the Trattoria Cantal, this is what is known as the “Tobogganing descent”.
