If there is an event that mixes snow, music, friends, and a massive dose of partying, it is Nevalia. The famous experience by Ron Barceló, known as the "Winter Desalia," has become the object of desire for thousands of young people in Spain. It takes place in a place we know very well: the MARCA station, in Formigal-Panticosa. But, what exactly is Nevalia and how can you live that dream week?
What is Nevalia? The Most Exclusive Snow Event
Nevalia is not a typical music festival nor just a simple party in the snow. It is a fully paid experience organized by Ron Barceló for its guests. For several days, the Formigal resort transforms into the epicenter of the party, combining skiing and snowboarding days with themed parties, top-level DJs, and concerts in secret locations.
It is the winter version of "Desalia," bringing the concept of "live now" to the snowy peaks of the Aragonese Pyrenees.
Nevalia 2025: Dates and Location
Although the exact dates are confirmed a few months in advance, Nevalia 2025 will once again shake up Formigal.
- Where: Formigal-Panticosa ski resort (Huesca).
- When: The Nevalia experience is usually held around STRIKETHROUGH, as a reference, in 2024 it was from February 12 to 16.
- Who attends: A mix of influencers, sweepstakes winners, and brand ambassadors.
How to Go to Nevalia 2025? The Million-Dollar Question
Here is the key to Nevalia and its great peculiarity: tickets for Nevalia cannot be purchased. It is a private and exclusive event that can only be attended by invitation.
The only way to get a pass for this experience is by participating in the raffles and contests that Ron Barceló activates on its social media (especially Instagram) and through its marketing campaigns. Hundreds of thousands of people participate each year to get one of the coveted spots.
What does the Nevalia prize include?
If you are one of the lucky raffle winners, the prize generally covers everything:
- Transportation (plane or train) to the destination.
- Accommodation in hotels in the Formigal resort area.
- Lift pass to ski every day at the resort.
- Meals and drinks.
- Access to all private parties, concerts, and exclusive events.
Plan B: What if I don’t win the Nevalia raffle?
Let's be honest: getting a spot is very difficult. But not winning the Nevalia raffle doesn’t mean you can’t experience the party. That week, the entire Formigal resort breathes an incredible atmosphere.
You can organize your own trip to Formigal for those dates and enjoy the general vibe. The epicenter of the "public" party will be, as always, at Marchica, the famous après-ski at the foot of the slopes in the Sextas sector, where the atmosphere is unbeatable.
What Clothes to Wear to Nevalia (or Your Trip to Formigal)?
The "Nevalia look" is a mix of technical skier and festival-goer. You will need two types of gear:
- For the slopes: A good ski or snowboard outfit. Keep in mind you will be skiing, so quality matters. You will need a jacket, snow pants, thermal clothing, gloves, and above all, a good helmet.
- For après-ski (Marchica): This is where you bring out your best outfit. Eye-catching sunglasses, a trendy hat, and comfortable snow boots for when you take off your ski boots.
Your Gear for Formigal: Don’t Come Loaded, Rent
Whether you have been lucky enough to win a Nevalia pass or you are going to throw your own party in Formigal, one thing is certain: you need good ski or snowboard equipment.
Instead of carrying your gear from home (or if you don’t have any), the smartest option is to rent. At Caranva Sports we make it easy: we compare prices at the best rental shops at the foot of the slopes in Formigal. Book online, avoid queues, and ensure premium equipment to enjoy the slopes (and look great in photos).
