Aramón Cerler

About the area

Aramón Cerler in the Aragonese Pyrenees has about 62 km of pistes, and nearly half of that — 29 km, or 46% — is green or blue. With six magic carpets and 13 short easy runs next to a lift base, it works well for first-timers and for families who want everyone within sight. Intermediates get the bulk of the terrain, with 25 km of blues and 23 km of reds. Strong skiers will find it thinner: 10 km is graded black or expert (16%), and the longest single descent gives 653 m of vertical, so a week of hard skiing here is a stretch.

The ski area runs from 1,503 m up to 2,617 m, with a gondola from the base that lets small children avoid chairlift loading. Of the 22 lifts, 10 are chairlifts, so uphill capacity above the learning zones is decent. The longest run measures 2,351 m.
