About Astún
Astún is one of the Aragonese Pyrenees' most consistently reliable ski resorts, a compact but well-served mountain in the Canfranc Valley above the historic international railway station at Canfranc — itself a UNESCO-listed architectural monument and one of the most extraordinary pieces of Belle Époque railway infrastructure in Europe — that receives reliably cold temperatures and good north-facing snowfall from the westerly Atlantic systems that track across the Pyrenees from November through April. Its 51km of terrain across 37 trails and 22 lifts is well-distributed across the ability spectrum, with the wide, confidence-building beginner and lower-intermediate terrain of the lower mountain and the more technically demanding upper-mountain zones on the west and north-facing slopes above 2,100m that hold powder considerably longer than the more sun-exposed resorts further east in the range. Astún's adjacency to the French border and the historic Somport tunnel pass creates a cross-border skiing opportunity with the resort of Candanchú on the same valley system, and the combination of Aragonese mountain village culture in the Canfranc Valley — with excellent local cuisine, walking access to the Ordesa National Park, and the extraordinary historic context of the Camino de Santiago passing through the valley — makes this one of the richest cultural accompaniments to skiing available in the Pyrenees.
