Hikes in Aragón

A wonderful hike. Getting to the top requires scrambling, but is great fun, not dangerous, and has great views: we used the obvious path up, rather than the one marked on the map.

5.7 on the b&h scale. This is one of the best ridge hikes we have done. It starts with a gradual ascent to the Spanish border; from there it follows the ridge line, with amazing views down to Spain and France. NOTE: This walk is for experienced hikers only, and only in good weather and no wind. The path is almost indistinguishable, there are several places with steep ascent on scree, there is a lot of walking on a narrow ledge with steep precepice on both sides. But it's worth the effort, for the amazing views and the adventure.

I give this route 5* even though it can NOT be completed by "normal" people. When you get to the junction with the GR11, there is a clear sign that says that the path is dangerous, that it needs special climbing equipment, and that it is closed. Still, the hike up to the junction is a wonderful hike: at first quite steeply in the forest, later more steeply and involving scrambling and some chain-assisted sections. For people can contribute on the GR11 all the way to the top.
