The excursion to the Ib\u00f3n de Acherito is one of the best known and most beautiful routes in the Valles Occidentales Natural Park (Aragonese Pyrenees). A highly recommended route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The route we propose, which is completely circular, follows the S5 path at all times. The main crossings are signposted and in favourable conditions, without ice, the route does not present any technical difficulties. During the summer and weekends, the route is usually quite busy, so if you can, it would be better to start early or go during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The climb up to the ib\u00f3n is a route that is worthwhile in itself. The views that we will enjoy all the way up to Selva de Oza, Guarrinza and the mountains that rise on both sides of Arag\u00f3n Subord\u00e1n are magnificent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Acherito lake, which we are not going to discover now, is spectacular. With a surface area of 5.9 hectares, it occupies the bottom of a beautiful glacial cirque, reflecting on its waters, like a natural mirror, the sharp rocky ridges that defend it to the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The descent through the Acherito ravine, which is more bearable than the way up, is perfect for this circular route and to get a close-up view of the Acherito Peak (2,374m) and its neighbours Sobarcal (2,257m) or Foya de Gamueta (2,308m), among others. In short, a route not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n
