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 from Plan to the Collada de la Cruz. Plan is located in the vicinity of the Posets-Maladeta natural park and is the main nucleus of the Val de Chistau. Bordered by the Cinqueta River (a tributary of the Cinca) and escorted to the south by the Peñas de las Diez, Once and Mediodía. The track begins at the bridge over the Cinqueta River, next to the town swimming pools. The surface is perfect for both MTB and gravel.

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.

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.

Length 11 km, difference in altitude 560 m, average gradient 4.6%, maximum gradient 13.5%. Very nice road and scenic a dream.

Don't know the real name of the track (ZonaZero). Is super developed and signposted. At regular intervals you get the missing altitude announced. The route first "rolls" through a valley and then climbs steadily to the crossroads. From there it becomes permanently steeper up to a maximum of 13%. Highly recommended!! The whole landscape is in a dream and on the route (Tuesday) hardly any traffic. Tip: there is a fountain at the crossroads. 😜
