One day ascent to the Rusell Peak (3207 m)

The Rusell is a rather forgotten peak where not many people go. So, if you enjoy the loneliness and peaceful of the mountains, this climb is perfect for you. It lies in the heart of the Benasque Valley, in Aragon, and inside the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park.

Regarding the itinerary, we will leave from the Coronas hut in direction to a bridge, through the Ballibierna Valley. This valley is located in the Central Pyrenees. That is why during the ascent we will witness one of the best panoramic views of the region. To the north of this valley we will see the Maladeta massif. This is a good peak to climb too. In fact I am also offering a one-day program to its top.

We will then walk uphill to Lagos de Llosas at 2500 meters. We will leave the upper lake by our left in order to ascend by a rocky and snowy trail. After that, we will reach a steep path that finally leads us to the Rusell's summit.

Although we will gain an elevation of 1250 meters, this mountain implies a minimal technical difficulty. That means that it is only necessary to have a good physical condition. The round trip will take approximately 8 hours.
