Candanchu - Ski the Spanish Pyrenees
Candanchu in the Aragon Pyrenees is a medium sized ski resort which is ideal
for hard skiing. It lies 385km from Barcelona which is the nearest
international airport.
Local instructors proudly announce that if you can
ski Candanchu, you can ski anywhere in the world. Runs are quite short by
Alpine standards but no other resort can match its terrain which offers an
enormous number of steep slopes within a small area. With more than a
third of its slopes being for experts and off piste and its overall reputation
for tough skiing this shouldn't be the first choice for beginners.
As is the case with ski resorts worldwide it's a good idea to avoid public
holidays where possible as Candanchu is one of Spain's most famous resorts.
By night there isn't great apres ski provision and many visitors prefer to stay
down in Jaca and travel up to the slopes by day.
