Applications can be submitted from September 21 through October 13 via empleo.aramon.es. The company is seeking candidates for a wide range of roles, including food service, customer service, maintenance, mountain activities, services and event management. Due to its level of activity, Formigal-Panticosa will account for the largest number of hires, followed by Cerler.

EMPLOYMENT LINKED TO THE REGION

The recruitment process also covers staffing needs at Javalambre and Valdelinares, as well as vacancies at the Aramón Ski & Snowboard School. In the latter case, the company is seeking sports instructors specializing in alpine skiing and snowboarding, as well as employees for customer service positions. During the previous winter season, the group reached peaks of up to 1,300 employees, with an average of 970 people working throughout the season.

A significant proportion of this workforce has close ties to Aragón. According to data provided by the company, nearly 70% of employees come from the valleys where the resorts are located or from elsewhere in the region, while eight out of ten employees return from one season to the next. They are joined by professionals mainly from Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona, as well as workers from abroad. The company also estimates that the resorts' activities generate up to 13,000 indirect jobs linked to mountain tourism.

FREE SKI PASSES AND TRANSPORTATION AND ACCOMMODATION SUPPORT

Among the benefits associated with these positions, Aramón employees receive a free ski pass to ski on their days off, season passes for immediate family members, meals, transportation assistance and discounts on various resort services. The group says it is also working on different accommodation options to facilitate stays for employees who need to relocate during the winter months.

Aramón Group Human Resources Director Carlos González highlights the continuity of the workforce despite the seasonal nature of the activity. “One of Aramón's major strengths is its ability to create stable employment within a seasonal business. We have experienced teams, a high return rate and strong ties to the region,” he says. The opening of the jobs portal is one of the first steps in preparing for the new winter season, ahead of the selection and training in the coming weeks of the teams that will work at the four resorts in Aragón.
