First Time
Although it is not as famous as many others in Spain, it is a really great option for those who are taking their first steps in this activity. El Castellaso is located a few kilometers from the village of Sesué. It's a Spanish municipality of Huesca in Aragon. In addition, El Castellaso lies in the heart of the Pyrenees, offering the most stunning views.
Once we arrive at the base of El Castellaso, we will prepare all the necessary gear. Therefore, you should not forget to bring harness, helmet, dissipators, gloves and comfortable clothing.
The via ferrata El Castellaso is ideal for beginners thanks to its easy and well equipped routes. We will climb a total of 280 meters with an altitude change of only 180 meters.
The adventure will not take us more than 2 hours and it is available all year round. It is also a great option to combine with other via ferratas in the area, such as this program in Foradada del Toscar.
If you are planning to come to the Pyrenees you cannot miss this chance. Contact me for further details and I will help you organize your next via ferrata trip!

UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide and Paragliding Instructor from Spain
I've been working as a mountain guide for the past 30 years. I've done ascents in the Pyrenees, Alps and Himalayas, including Chooyu (8201m), Ama Dablam (6820m), Mera Peak (6461m, 9 ascents), Stock Kangri (6153m, 8 ascents) and Lenin Peak (7134m).
I live in Castejón de Sos, in Benasque valley (Huesca), near the highest peaks of the Pyrenees. There I guide ascents and traverse during summer and winter, doing ski touring, alpinism, rock climbing and trekking.
I also organize trekkings and ascents in the Alps, India and Nepal.
My other passion is paragliding, which I do since 1986. I'm a tandem pilot, and organize programs in Spain and Nepal for pilots.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
