アインサ-ソブラルベの峠・トップ5

ペーニャ・モンタニェサの北側にある、森の中ののどかな牧草地

A very enjoyable climb. No steep inclines, a narrow but well-maintained road. The finish at the foot of Peña Montañesa has its charm.

Climb through a lot of bedrock, with rolling steps, Guara territory, inhospitable, without coverage, Collada with views of the Piri

Collado de Cullivert is the link between the Cotiella massif (2912 m), Sierra Ferrera and the Peña Montañesa (2291 m). Natural passage between the regions of Ribagorza and Sobrarbe, separation line of the slopes of the Ésera and Cinca rivers. Access to the Cullivert pass (1,471 m) is via a demanding but beautiful track of almost 6 km that goes up the Ravine of Viu.

On any of its slopes, that of Boltaña and that of Guarguera, the port of Serrablo is a long port, more than 12 kilometers long. It is more irregular from La Guarguera, due to the continuous ups and downs of its final kilometres, and with a more classic profile from Boltaña. Even so, the Boltaña slope alternates kilometers with a gradient of up to 6% with others of authentic rest. The road is very quiet, with very little traffic, with good views of the natural park of the Sierra and the Guara canyons on the south side and the national park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido on the north side.

The port of Arro leads to the Monastery of San Victorián, from the 6th century, considered the oldest in Spain. Legend has it that Saint Victorián arrived in the Pyrenees fleeing from earthly temptations. After a life as a hermit in the Cueva de la Espelunga and realizing great prodigies, he was appointed abbot of the monastery, which was originally called San Martín de Asán. Some time later, in the 11th century, the monastery took its name and was renamed San Victorian or San Beturián.
