There are two ski resorts in the south of Aragón, both in Teruel Province
Aragón’s two ski stations in the South of the Region – Javalambre and Valdelinares - form, together with Valdezcaray in La Rioja, the three resorts of the Sistema Ibérico.
Both are run by the Grupo Aramón, which was formed as a joint venture between the Aragón regional government and the Ibercaja Bank, and which runs another three resorts in the North of the region, in the Aragonese Pyrenees.

Their two southern resorts are both in Teruel province, with Javalambre, in the Sierra de Javalambre, the most southerly, just an hour and half’s drive from the coast of Valencia (140 kms to Valencia City), and even closer to Castellón, 135 kms away. This fairly new resort is 12 kilometres from the nearest town of Camarena de la Sierra, and opened for its first season in 1995.
The ski station offers 6 kms of skiable area, with a total of eight runs (four blue, three green and one red), and seven ski lifts. It is equipped with a system of 95 snow cannons, capable of providing artificial snow to the total area. The resort has a ski school with 20 instructors, with equipment hire also available on site.

Valdelinares is further to the northeast, but also within an easy drive of the Costa Dorada and the Costa Azahar, and is set within the breathtaking scenery of the Sierra de Gúdar. The resort takes its name from the village of the same name, which, at a height of 1,693 metres, is one of the highest villages on the Spanish mainland.
Also very popular with the people of Valencia for a weekend’s skiing – and especially in combination with a trip around the unspoilt scenery and mountain villages of this area - there are nine ski runs here, with three levels of difficulty: three red, three blue and three green runs, all making up a total skiable area of seven kilometres. There are a further four kilometres for cross-country skiing. There is a system of 110 snow cannons to provide artificial snow to the total area,10 ski lifts, two ski schools with 40 instructors, as well as equipment hire on site.
The resort has five cafés and a restaurant. Accommodation for around 1,300 people is available within a radius of 25 km, although there is none in the resort itself.
