The Spanish Central Pyrenees in Huesca showcase a diverse mountain and valley landscape, with Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park at its core, recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site since 1997. This region presents hikers with stunning natural vistas, featuring dramatic canyon valleys, mountain basins, and high plateaus adorned with flowers. The rolling mountain chains and unique limestone formations culminate in the impressive Monte Perdido, the area’s highest peak. Nearby valleys, such as Benasque and Panticosa, add to the allure with their myriad mountain lakes, granite peaks, and picturesque meadows, highlighted by the Maladeta glacier massif and Pico de Aneto, the tallest peak in the Pyrenees. The landscape's variety is complemented by an array of hiking options, from secluded valley paths and challenging summit climbs to scenic bridle paths and thrilling canyon tours. This walking guide presents 50 carefully selected routes that cater to different hiking abilities, inviting adventurers to explore and appreciate a largely untouched mountain terrain, free from the impacts of mass tourism.
