Panticosa has a complete long-distance circuit and a veteran hotel facility, the famous spa. From it, mountaineering fans can carry out, both in summer and winter, beautiful excursions, in addition to constituting a place of rest with all kinds of services: hotels, thermal water spa, fishing, hunting, mountaineering, cross-country skiing, and a long etcetera.

In the first place, the triple offer of the commonwealth of the Ansó-Fago, Echo and Aragües-Jasa valleys. In them there are permanent circuits that run through areas of great beauty and admirable vegetation: Linza, Garbadillo and Lizara are respectively the names of these places that have prepared tracks, services and good access.
In the Ordesa Valley there is an area where Nordic skiing is practiced within the National Park, on the banks of the Arazas River. Another background track is also planned in Fanlo.
