The excursion to the <strong>Elvira Fountain <\/strong>It will take about four and a half hours to walk there and back (five and a half hours with stops) along a trail with\u00a0<strong>1,000 metres of vertical drop\u00a0<\/strong>and crossing several snowfields (depending on the season, at the beginning of the campaign).<\/p><p>The tour starts on the Paseo de los Melanc\u00f3licos (the path that runs parallel to the railway tracks at the back of the\u00a0<strong>Canfranc train station<\/strong>). From there, take the path that leads to the refuge la\u00a0<strong>Casita Blanca\u00a0<\/strong>-It can be accessed both from the northern and southern end of the Paseo de los Melanc\u00f3licos, which allows you to choose between an uphill and a downhill path. It is a coniferous forest (spruce, pine and fir), with some leafy species (beech, hazel, ash...).

The slope of the mountain is impressive, as it is full of avalanche defences that protect the impressive station building and its surroundings below.<\/p><p>After drinking water at the fountain and regaining our strength, we start the descent.
