Formigal (), 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 182 km of marked pistes. The highest point is Tres Hombres peak at 2250 m above sea level, with a vertical drop of 740 m; 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 1500 m. 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.
