ラルンスの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Emblematic peak of Canfranc, common at the start of the ski touring season, and recommended family outing to Ibón de Escalar in summer. It is a short, easy and beautiful ascent to Ibón de Escalar, and with a final climb to the peak only for mountaineers.

Beautiful landscape and top hiking area

Culminating at 2,349 meters above sea level, the Pic des Moines is located a few meters from the border between France and Spain. This summit offers a breathtaking view of the Pic du Midi d'Ossau, its valley and the Spanish side.

The final shovel of the ascent to the top can present slopes of 40/45o and when the snow is hard it will be necessary to finish the ascent walking with crampons and a touring ice ax to reach the magnificent viewpoint of the summit, with extraordinary views of the eastern sector of the Aragonese Pyrenees. The slopes of Algas and Argualas also offer worthwhile mountain routes, each of the three peaks has an orientation (south, east and north) and you can choose a slope depending on the temperature or the state of the snow at any given time.

From this point of the GR11 you can enjoy idyllic views of the high mountains. On one side, the peaks of Anayet, vertex (2,540) and peak (2,574 meters) and on the other, the Anayet lakes. In addition, in the background, to the north, the silhouette of the summit of the Midi d'Ossau also rises, so unmistakable. It is a spectacular place to stop to rest but, beware, it is better not to swim. On the one hand because there may be leeches and, on the other, because the Aragonese lakes are protected and our sun creams and deodorants can damage the water and its ecosystems.

This 2,545m high peak is actually a volcano with only the chimney remaining, like its famous neighbor the Midi d'Ossau. This whole area is the remains of a large and old volcanic caldera.

The Anayet peak is the remains of a primitive volcanic python created during the Hercynian orogeny, when successive magma explosions and eruptive convulsions originating in the interior of the earth created the unique colored reliefs that form the Anayet cirque, a large depression created by glacial modeling between two large Pyrenean basins. The northern ibón of Anayet pours the water towards Canal Roya and reaches the Aragón River, in the Canfranc Valley. And the water from the southern ibón is a tributary of the Gállego River, in the neighboring Tena Valley.

It doesn't matter which part of the shore you stand on, a delight for the eyes.
