Moonlit Skiing in Spain
Like slow skiing zones and skier cross courses, moonlit skiing seems to be a growing trend in ski areas across Europe.
The latest place where you can ski beneath the lunar rays is Formigal in the Spanish Pyrenees which will offer moonlit skiing on three evenings this winter.
Formigal joins resorts in the Alps offering moonlit ski nights including Les 2 Alpes, Saas Fee and Zermatt.
In Formigal the event takes place next Tuesday, January 4th then on February 12th and finally for this season on March 19th.
In Formigal moonlit skiing will be offered on the Rio piste from 8.30pm onwards. After a glass of mulled wine (known in Spanish as vino caliente) you will be escorted down the slope in a group by the local ski school, using hand held torches to light the way if the moon isn't bright enough on the night.
At the bottom you can enjoy a glass of champagne at Marchica with an accompanying firework display and live music performance.
