The peaks of Urbión do not reach the heights of the Sierra Nevada or the Pyrenees, but they are endowed with a particular beauty and exceptional geological vigor. Primitive glacial modeling together with climatological events have sculpted the primitive Quaternary landscape of old sandstones and conglomerates creating a splendid alpine panorama of hanging valleys, moraines, almost perfect cirques of walls, mantles of debris and glacial basins, an exclusive universe of glacial environments. in the Iberian Mountain Range with magnificent trails to prepare unforgettable mountain crossings. The Urbión Lagoon is the most solitary and isolated glacial cirque of the massif, an extraordinary place to explore the glacial valley of the Urbión River and enter the kingdom of landscapes built by Quaternary ice thousands of years ago.

Lagoon of glacial origin. It is hidden for much of the climb. But once the 2,000m are exceeded, it is the great owner of the landscape.
