The highest peak in the Pyrenees, Aneto (3,404m) is a fantastic mountain. And climbing to its summit is an unforgettable experience. And on this full day trip, which can be extended if you so desire, I would like to guide you to that magical summit.
Located in the Benasque valley, in the province of Huesca, Aneto is part of the Maladeta massif. It is a majestic mountain, made even more stunning by the enormous glacier on its North face. In fact, the glacier on Aneto, like the peak itself, is the largest in the entire Pyrenees.
Despite the size of Aneto, the climbing routes to its summit are relatively easy. Hence why it can be done in a single day. However, due to the altitude adjustments, if you are looking for a less strenuous ascent, I would suggest breaking the climb into two days. This will give you a chance to see more of the mountain because you will be climbing at a more leisurely pace. It will also give you the chance to spend the night in the lovely and comfortable Renclusa hut.
Along the route to the top of Aneto you will see a number of wonderful highlights. They include the Superior Portillon, the Collado de Coronoas, and the Mahoma Pass.
Participants should have some previous climbing experience, particularly on glaciers. It is also important that you are in good physical condition as well.
There is nothing like climbing to the top of the highest peak in a famous mountain range. So send me a request and lets climb to the top of Aneto, the tallest mountain in the Pyrenees.
I can also lead you to the top of the Pena Telera in the Pyrenees as well.
More info
Participants on this trip should have crampons, mountain boots, piolet, warm and waterproof clothes, gloves, sunglasses, rope and a harness.

Juan Carlos was an exceptional guide and quite a great help at different points throughout the trip. When my primary guide couldn’t make it, Juan Carlos stepped up. He helped me get a more-fitting set of crampons for the trip, he helped along the route, and he accommodated when I asked to break, move faster, or divert. Many guides I’ve had in the passed did what they wanted. He respected my experience and my asks. This was a great trip, we pushed through the questionable weather, and made it to the summit.
