One of the oldest ski areas in Spain, at the Somport pass in the Aragonese Pyrenees right on the French border, founded in the 1920s. The terrain is varied with a good spread from gentle learning ground to genuinely steep runs, and there is a strong ski touring and mountaineering tradition in the surrounding peaks.

Astún is directly across the road and the two share a combined pass, which roughly doubles the ground available. The base is a functional cluster of buildings at the pass. Jaca down the valley is a real town with a cathedral and a Saturday market, and it makes a better base.
