Circular routes: the Tour of Aneto
The complete tour of the monarch of the Pyrenees, the Aneto, is one of the most important best three-day routes we can do in the Pyrenees.
This is a high mountain route, with passes over 2,800 metres high, steep terrain, snow at any time of the year and a significant difference in altitude. A trek reserved for well-equipped mountaineers in good physical shape.
The route around the Aneto is signposted using the markings of the GR11 long-distance footpath or Senda Pirenaica (Pyrenean Path). In fact, it takes advantage of the main GR11 path (to the south) and its variant GR11.5 (to the north), to complete an itinerary that circumnavigates the entire massif.
