Let's continue the challenge! Every week we look for a place in the Pyrenees. By observing the photograph and with the help of the clues, are you able to find out which place is the one we are looking for? If you want to take part by sending us a place, you can send us your pictures together with the clues and the solution to the email address travesiapirenaica@gmail.com. Each week we will choose one for publication.

We are looking for this place #168:

The ascent of this mountain, in winter or summer, is one of those classics that cannot be missed.

Tracks:

  1. Coming from the Cantabrian there is no other mountain that exceeds it in height.
  2. When the snow turns the petrified "glacier" at your feet into a meringue, the ascent on skis is a marvel, but beware, under the white mantle are hidden crevasses so dark and deep that they seem to have no bottom.
  3. In Basque mythology, his importance was such that they had made him their Olympus and named the whole Pyrenean chain after him.

We continue this week with another refuge, a very characteristic one, but this time, in the Catalan Pyrenees. Can you guess which one it is? Doesn't it remind you of 4 other refuges very close to us?

Tracks:

  1. Located at an altitude of 2,517 metres, it is one of the highest refuges in the Pyrenees.
  2. It is located in a privileged setting, surrounded by ponds and peaks of around 2,900 metres.
  3. It is at the gateway to the Principality of Andorra.
