Candanchú is a ski resort situated near the town of Canfranc in the High Aragon of the western Pyrenees, in the province of Huesca, Spain. The name of the area is an adaptation of the French "Camp d'Anjou", as it was originally the site of a military camp of the French Angevin dynasty. This is also located near the road on the historical Camino de Santiago. Candanchú is 1 km from Puerto del Somport, on the border with France. The neighboring Astún ski resort is located 27 km north of the city of Jaca. On the right bank of the river Aragón, near the bridge of Santa Cristina, are the ruins of the Hospital of Santa Cristina of Somport, a hospice for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago.
==The resort== Candanchú was one of the first developed ski resorts in the Pyrenees. With 59 km of marked pistes, it is known for its very difficult, steep pistes such as Tubo Zapatilla. The highest point is La Tuca peak, 2400 metres AMSL, with a vertical drop of 900 metres.
