Ascent of Aspe Peak from A\u00edsa <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We propose this ascent to the Peak of Aspe, at 2645 m<\/strong> above sea level. It is not one of the Pyrenean three-thousanders, but it offers spectacular views from the summit. You can climb to the summit from Candanch\u00fa or from A\u00edsa. We will tell you about the second route, which is of medium-easy difficulty and is not technically demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start leaving the village of A\u00edsa behind us, from where the road continues northwards, running parallel to the Estarr\u00fan River. About eight kilometres later, after crossing pine trees and meadows, the track comes to an end - a metal fence blocks our way. We leave the car in the Riguelo car park (at 1,460 m). We set off along the track to the plains of Napazal.<\/strong>From here we can already see the approximate route up to Aspe. At the first turning on the track to the left we cross the Estarr\u00fan river and ascend between the valleys. We will reach a watering place, where we turn right to face the funnel, which will lead us to a new, steeper path that, little by little, takes us eastwards to enter an area of karst. Bear in mind that the dangers of karst areas include dolines (depressions that are more or less deep and with very steep walls, typical of limestone terrain), so you need to be careful when crossing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue along the path and see that we start to gain altitude quickly. The path is marked with milestones and takes us up to the Garganta de A\u00edsa mountain pass<\/strong>We continue straight on along the path also marked with milestones that takes us to the summit. We have overcome a difference in altitude of 1185 m, in about three and a half hours with stops. Don't forget to take plenty of water with you in summer, as you won't find it all the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the top have fun searching and contemplating: Las Blancas, Collarada <\/a>(2.886 m), the Mallos de Lecherines (2.452 m), the Pico Lecher\u00edn (2.556 m), the Llana de la Garganta (.2599 m) and the Llana del Bozo (2.566 m), the Midi d'Ossau<\/a> (2,884 m), the Mesola Peak (2,177 m) and the rest of the landscape that gives us the A\u00edsa Valley and the Berd\u00fan Channel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
