Candanchú ski resort, Ski resort in Aísa, Spain

The ski resort features 49 runs across 51 kilometers of terrain, with elevations ranging from 1,640 meters to 2,400 meters in the Aragonese Pyrenees.

Established in 1928, Candanchú originated from a French military camp named Camp d'Anjou and developed into the first ski resort in Spain.

The resort's name reflects the French influence in the region, while its ladybug logo represents the summer insects population in the mountain area.

The facility maintains 32 ski lifts, including 6 quad chairs, 3 triple chairs, 2 double chairs, and 21 surface lifts for efficient mountain access.

The resort connects with a comprehensive cross-country circuit and biathlon course, offering winter sports options beside the 2,645-meter Pico del Aspe.

From the Pyrenees in the sun: the resorts where winter breathes

From high-altitude forests to peaks overlooking Spain, the Pyrenees possess a raw charm that stands out. Less flashy than the Alps, but more human and vibrant. Skiing takes place amid pines and valleys, sometimes facing the sea, sometimes in powder silence. The resorts maintain their mountain spirit: wooden chalets, small bars at the base of slopes, ski schools where everyone eventually gets to know each other. From Grand Tourmalet to Baqueira-Beret, from Saint-Lary to Catalan plateaus, each area has its own light, rhythm, and accent. Some invite sporty skiing, others Nordic strolling. And when evening falls, with hot wine and the snow gradually fading, one understands why the Pyrenees are among the mountains that are unforgettable.
