The trip

The Posets -Maladeta Natural Park is located in the Aragon Pyrenees, in the long axis of the Pyrenees. Here is where we find the highest concentration of peaks over 3,000 meters. Highlights include the Aneto (3.404 m) the highest mountain in the Pyrenees. We should also distinguish the Posets (3.369 m) and Perdiguero (3.221 m).

The network of mountain huts allows us to draw a variety of itineraries to enjoy this natural environment as we wish depending on our fitness, our desires and aspirations.

Muntania suggests a trekking designed for people looking forward to walking and to lengthen the hiking days. We will make a clockwise circular tour circumvent the Posets.
