バニェール＝ド＝リュションの絶景の山頂・トップ20

The highest peak in the Pyrenees mountaineering region.

This circuit starting from the beautiful little village of Artigue, will take you directly to the Saunères cabin. All along the route, you will walk with a breathtaking view of the balconies of Luchonnais. You will also overlook the city of Luchon and it is not uncommon to share this beautiful circuit with mountain bike enthusiasts.

The highest peak in the Pyrenees and the one everyone wants to climb. Its demands are more physical than technical, with the exception of the Mahoma Pass, not suitable for those with vertigo, and the Aneto Glacier, which is recommended to avoid in the middle of summer when the hard centuries-old ice is exposed and landslides increase due to melting. At the top you will find a gigantic metal cross, a statue of the Virgen del Pilar and a small bust of San Marsial, patron saint of Benasque. Each of them installed by different groups that want to make their own a piece of this colossus that, although it is difficult to believe, went unnoticed for centuries in the shadow of the apparently more prominent Tuca de la Maladeta (from the Occitan "Mall Hita", the 'high peak').

This cabin, typical of the Pyrenean mountains, offers an ideal place to stop in the shade or to spend the night. It is installed on a balcony, allowing you to admire the Luchonnais chain. As for equipment, you will find a few pans and a wooden chest with blankets. Four or five people can easily sleep there: two beds with mattresses on the ground floor, plus three beds on the floor upstairs.

Aneto is the highest peak in the Pyrenees and the second highest in the Iberian Peninsula, with an altitude of 3,404 meters above sea level. It is located in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park, in the Spanish municipality of Benasque, province of Huesca, autonomous community of Aragon. It is part of the Maladeta massif and, located in the Benasque valley, is made up of Paleozoic terrain of granitic nature and Mesozoic materials. On its northern face, starting at approximately 2810 m, is the largest glacier in the Pyrenees, with about 100 hectares of surface, which is, like many in the world, in clear regression as a consequence of climate change (it is estimates that in the last 100 years it has lost more than half of its surface, and that in 30 or 40 years it may disappear).

The Aneto, roof of the Pyrenees and watchtower over the park, is a symbol and a challenge for mountaineers who come to this natural park to climb to 3404 meters high. The most frequented routes are the one on the north side from Besurta, and the one on the south side from the Coronas bridge to Vallibierna.

From the Benasque Hospital to Puerto de la Picada, it is a simple and very beautiful, with unbeatable views of the north face of Maladeta. The path is well defined and marked by milestones until reaching Port de la Picada itself. It goes up gently in a zigzag pattern until it reaches the Basetas del Portillón, small lakes that can sometimes be found dry. From here, we turn right, looking for an easterly orientation to overcome the last slope that leaves us at Port de la Picada. On the other side, you can see small lakes called Bom des Clòts de Lunfèrn and the Valley that descends towards Artiga de Lin (Vall d'Aran).

Montcorbison is a mountain of 2,172 meters that is located in the municipality of Vielha e Mijaran, in the region of Vall d'Aran. This peak is included in the list of the 100 peaks of the FEEC
