Aneto, Spanish Pyrenees, Guided Ascent

The highest and mightiest mountain in the Spanish Pyrenees, Aneto (3,404m) is a fantastic peak. And the fact you can climb it in a single day only adds to its immense appeal.

Standing tall within the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park in the Spanish province of Huesca, in the region of Aragon, Aneto is incredible.

There are 3 routes we can take to the summit of Aneto. And while they all offer their own distinct sets of experiences and advantages, they do share the same reward: the exquisite views from the summit.

The first option is the normal route. This route goes from Besurta to Renclusa and Portillon Superior. This option will take approximately 12 hours with a 1,500 metre difference. The second option involves climbing on the mountain’s north face. We will go through the Coronas valley and head down to the south face to Aigualluts. Incredibly scenic, this option also takes approximately 12 hours. The final option takes 2 days, and involves a night in the comfortable La Renclusa refuge. It is a slower paced option that will give you twice as much time to appreciate the beauty of Aneto.

Each option of this trip will have some challenges, including going through a glacier, which will require the use of crampons, so you should have some prior climbing experience.

Climbing Aneto is an amazing journey. And despite the short time needed to accomplish this feat, the glory of it will stick with you for the rest of your life. So send me a request, and join me to the top of the highest mountain in the Spanish Pyrenees.

I also offer a rock climbing trip in Riglos, also located in the Spanish Pyrenees, as well.
