Altitude: 3053m
Situation:
Aragonese Pyrenees, mountain massif separating the valleys of Chustaú and Benás.
When to go:
From mid-June to mid-October.

Complicated sections:
- On the Sahún route, there is a ridge behind the Ibón de Sein lake and, on the other route, the path becomes more complicated from the Ibón Bagüeña Superior lake onwards.
Recommended equipment:
- Waterproof boots and gaiters.
- Sticks can be very useful for walking and even as stringing material.
- Sunglasses and sunscreen.
