'''Formigal''' ({{IPA|es|foɾmiˈɣal|lang|Pronunciation of Formigal in Spanish.ogg}}), officially ''Aramón Formigal-Panticosa'', is a ski resort in the Aragon Pyrenees of northeastern Spain, near the town of Sallent de Gallego in the upper Tena Valley in the province of Huesca. The nearest international airports are in Zaragoza, Spain and Lourdes, France.

==The resort== Formigal-Panticosa has {{convert|182|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} of marked pistes. The highest point is ''Tres Hombres'' peak at {{convert|2250|m|-1|abbr=on}} above sea level, with a vertical drop of {{convert|740|m|-1|abbr=on}}; the majority of its slopes face north and northeast.

The base of the resort is a purpose-built town which includes several hotels and apartments at {{convert|1500|m|-1|abbr=on}}. From there an 8-seat chairlift provides the main access for the resort. Prior to 2004 this access was provided by a gondola, informally called "''El huevo''" (''The egg'') by its users. The resort itself occupies five different high mountain valleys, defining three sectors: ''Tres Hombres (Sextas)'', ''Izas-Sarrios'', ''Anayet'', ''El Portalet'' and "Panticosa". Each valley is accessible by car and a bus service, with a parking and service area at its base from where the chair lifts depart.

Formigal-Panticosa hosted the FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships in 2008, held in late February.<ref name=fis08for>{{cite news|url=http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/medg/mgjp121/juniorchampionshipsoverv.html|publisher=FIS|title=Alpine Junior World Ski Championships|accessdate=25 January 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130216015616/http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/medg/mgjp121/juniorchampionshipsoverv.html|archive-date=16 February 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=hwsgofd>{{cite web|url=http://www.skiracing.com/?q=node/6635|publisher=Ski Racing.com|title=Hirscher wins 2nd gold on final day at World Juniors|date=29 February 2008}}</ref>
