モンタヌイの天然記念物・トップ20

The highest peak in the Pyrenees mountaineering region.

A fantastic natural spectacle in the already beautiful Pyrenees mountains.

Impressive waterfall in this area near what is called the Rio de Joèu (Joèu river). In the summer there are usually many people but the area is wide and cool to run through.

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').

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).

Popular waterfall for its aesthetics and accessibility from Cerler. The upper part, also called the Bom waterfall, freezes during some winter months and becomes a regular place for ice climbing. This is because it spends most of the day in the shade, which is why the upper ravine is called Barranco de l'Ubago (shady in Aragonese).

Tour of just an hour and a half in total duration, essential for anyone who travels to the Benasque Valley for the first time, being probably the most visited place in this valley. The Forau de Aiguallut is a chasm through which the waters from the Aneto glacier disappear to resurface again on the surface in the Val de Arán, in the Garona river basin, which flows into the Atlantic Sea in the French city of Bordeaux.

Spectacular waterfall from Aneto.
