About the area

Astun in the Aragonese Pyrenees is a compact area: about 34 km of pistes, with 14 km red and 10 km blue, so the centre of gravity sits with confident intermediates. Only 2 km is green, and 34% of the pistes (12 km) are green or blue, which makes it workable but not generous for beginners. Four magic carpets and 14 short easy runs next to a lift base help with first steps and with children. Experts should look elsewhere: 6 km, or 18%, is black or freeride terrain, and the longest vertical on a single run is 421 m.

The skiing runs between 1,659 m and 2,272 m, giving 421 m of vertical, with the longest run measuring 1,765 m. Sixteen lifts serve it: 5 chairlifts, 7 drag lifts and 4 magic carpets, so expect plenty of surface tows on the upper slopes.
