Parque Natural Posets-Maladeta

Aragón · Ribagorza y SobrarbePyrenees

Aneto and Posets rise above the Benasque, Chistau and Barrabés valleys. Lakes, moraines and remaining glaciers explain the making of this landscape. With children, begin at a visitor centre and choose a short valley walk: a recognisable summit on the skyline does not make the climb an easy outing.
