Forty-eight hours of heavy snowfall over the Pyrenees has left Formigal more than ready to open this weekend. Spain's largest resort has 160 cm of snow on the higher slopes, around a metre on the lower pistes and more is predicted to fall over the next few days.

With great offers of free ski hire and child lift passes, there's never been a better time to book. But hurry, some offers end in just two weeks.

For bookings made before 15th December there is free ski or board hire for everyone and throughout the season there is a free child

liftpass for every pre-booked adult liftpass.
