カンフランクの峡谷・トップ14

You can travel on longer or shorter routes, depending on your physical condition, and you can see beautiful landscapes.

An area to enjoy the climb. Always with the water by our side. Rapids and waterfalls everywhere.

Precious ascent towards the lakes of Anayet.

This valley follows the course of the Gave de Bious and offers a superb deep and clear panorama. A verdant expanse all in contrast with the passes, the peaks and the rocky massifs which rise on the horizon. The path is gentle, flat or very slightly sloping, which makes the valley all the more peaceful.

Little or no problem in good weather, dangerous in snow and ice

Deep ravine formed by the Aguas Limpias ravine. It is the narrowest and most confined area of the route and in some sections the ground will be wet or muddy. The feeling of freshness, the shade of the forest and the sound of water are especially appreciated in the summer months. Watch out for the railing - don't lean on it!

Steep ascent from Formigal towards the Anayet lakes (or descent in the opposite direction) that runs boxed in the shadow of the Culivillas peak and follows the water course.

The mountainous massifs have the abrupt and alpine character of the great calcareous peaks, they form superb towers over the glacial channels and the mountain valleys carved by the tongues of ice that gave shape and environmental quality to the high Aragon mountains. The Canal Roya is a perfect glacial creation. The current reliefs of the valley were sculpted by the great masses of ice from the last glaciation of the Quaternary, some glaciers could be 400 meters thick at the head. The retreat of the ice gave rise to periglacial modelling, slope slides, fluvial erosion, avalanches and the rest of the environmental agents that have completed the current landscape.
