It is a spectacular race which takes place under conditions of semi self-sufficiency, joining these two mountainous massifs together to comprise a boundless route. The Gran Trail starts off from the village of Benasque with a lap around Aneto heading towards La Renclusa refuge to then head off up the Barrancs valley, climb to the Salenques mountain pass (2797 m) and from there towards the Vallibierna valley. After passing through Benasque once again, the climb up to Cerler begins, from where the route drops down to the picturesque village of Anciles and on to Eriste before starting the lap around the Posets massif. This section includes the highest point of the race, Forqueta mountain pass at 2900 m. From this point, the course takes runners down to the Biadós refuge following the GR11 leading to the Estós refuge before returning to Benasque to end the race.

This amazing course starts in the village of Benasque to head off towards La Renclusa refuge. After visiting the impressive Forau d’Aigualluts, it then follows the Barrancs valley and crosses high mountain passes such as Salenques (2797 m) before returning to Benasque through the Vallbierna valley, having circled an endless number of mountain lakes and other high-mountain landscapes of the Pyrenees. Maratón de las Tucas. 42 km / 2 500 m+ 8.5 km of the course at an altitude above 2000 m / 3.4 km of paved roads 13.3 km of tracks / 25.4 km of footpaths The Maratón de las Tucas joins the Estós and Ángel Orús refuges over a number of tracks and footpaths surrounding the famous Tucas de Ixeia (2840 m), in the heart of the beautiful Pyrenees. Starting off in the village of Benasque, the course follows the GR11 upwards to the Estós refuge, from where it continues around the spectacular Batisielles mountain lakes before peaking out over the Plana mountain pass (2708 m) and reaching the next checkpoint located in the Ángel Orús refuge. From there the route takes us down into the Eriste/Grist valley in view of the imposing Espigantosa waterfall and then heads off towards Benasque again passing through the villages of Eriste, Anciles and Cerler. 2 Vuelta al Pico Cerler. 25,5 km / 1 250 m+ 3.3 km of the course at an altitude above 2000 m / 3.9 km of paved roads 12 km of tracks / 6.7 km of footpaths / 2.8 km off-trail This half marathon Vuelta al Pico Cerler takes place on tracks and footpaths joining Benasque and other villages and nearby areas, taking Cerler peak as the reference point as one of the best places to go Alpine skiing in the Pyrenees. From the start line in the village of Benasque, the race sets off towards the Linsoles residential complex on the banks of the River Ésera to arrive at the picturesque village of Anciles, before heading off up the footpath waymarked with PR-HU 33, towards Cerler. From there, the course takes you around the Cerler peak towards Ampriu where you then cross the Aramón-Cerler facilities, passing over Colladeta and Cota 2000 of the ski resort. Once the base of the ski resort is reached in El Molino, there is a steep descent along the PR-HU 27 and 28 before crossing the finish line once again in Benasque Vuelta al Molino de Cerler. 12,5 km / 460 m+ 3.9 km of paved roads / 1.9 km of tracks / 6.7 km of footpaths The Vuelta al Molino de Cerler takes place on tracks and footpaths joining Benasque with the villages of Anciles and Cerler. The course is designed for runners under 18 years old, although there is no age limit for this race, in fact it is ideal as a first mountain race in the heart of the Pyrenees. From the start line in the village of Benasque, the race sets off towards the Linsoles residential complex on the banks of the River Ésera to arrive at the picturesque village of Anciles, before heading off up the PR-HU 33 footpath, towards Cerler.

  • Difficult Hiking Route Aneto Peak
    Difficult Hiking route Aneto Peak Aneto, the highest peak in the Pyrenees at 3.404 meters, is situated in the Natural Park of Posets-Maladeta. It is the source of many legends and a great challenge to climbers and trekkers. A worthy challenge but also dangerous. Although it isn’t an excessively difficult climb, it is a “three thousander” and there is a glacier to cross and other minor difficulties which people tend to forget and in fact many climb the mountain who are not really well prepared to do so. ROUTE The ideal starting point for the ascent of Aneto is the refuge of the Renclusa. From here there is a path going SE. It’s difficult to lose your way due to the piles of marker stones and the amount of climbers on the path. The zig zagging path rises fairly gently through increasingly sparse vegetation. In 1 hour and 40 minutes the Aneto glacier can be seen from the Lower Portillon at 2.818 meters. From here you go down to the glacier via a well worn path. After about three and a half hours the path reaches the Coronas Pass and only the final stretch of glacier, with its enormous cracks, remains. Here you will find the dangerous Mahoma’s Crossing where you will have to climb using the previously installed hooks you will find there. From here you have only to continue along the sharp ridge to reach the highest point in the Pyrenees. DETAILS • Location: Posets - Maladeta Natural Park • Ascent time: 6 hours • Descent time: 5 hours • Recommended dates: summer • Difficulty: The scree slopes are dangerous as is the stretch over the glacier, on the windy, narrow paths of the crest and a piolet, rope and crampons should be used • Level: for experienced and well equipped mountaineers.

  • Area Selection for the Conservation of Butterflies in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands H
    Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 30.1 (2007) 7 Area selection for the conservation of butterflies in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands H. Romo, M. L. Munguira & E. García–Barros Romo, H., Munguira, M. L. & García–Barros, E., 2007. Area selection for the conservation of butterflies in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 30.1: 7–27. Abstract Area selection for the conservation of butterflies in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands.— Coverage provided by the network of protected areas in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands was tested by measuring the coincidence between the squares protected by the network and the butterfly species recorded for such UTM grid squares. Five species were found to be absent in the network. The protected areas with the highest numbers of butterfly species were Ordesa National Park and Monte Perdido and the Posets– Maladeta Natural Park. Priority areas were selected using WORLDMAP software and showed that the all species of butterflies in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands can be found within 16 squares of 10 x 10 km (nine of them not within the network of protected areas). More specific area selections were also carried out: eight squares supported the total number of threatened species, five hosted all the Iberian endemisms and 13 harboured the rare butterfly species. This study detected 16 squares that are not currently protected but are important for butterfly conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Key words: Conservation, Butterflies, Gap analysis, Protected areas, Iberian Peninsula, Balearic Islands. Resumen Selección de áreas para la conservación de las mariposas diurnas de la Península Ibérica e Islas Baleares.— Se ha analizado el nivel de cobertura que proporciona la red de espacios protegidos en la Península Ibérica e Islas Baleares comprobando la coincidencia entre éstos y el número de especies de mariposas registrado.

This glacier is 675 meters long, occupy an area of 48.64 ha and their maximum altitude is 3,269 meters. The glacier front ends at 3,029 m a.s.l. and its mean slope is 23.6°, reaching a maximum of 56° in some parts. The main aim of this research is to present a detailed volumetric reconstruction of the glacier since the LIA and analyze their retreat. Based on morphological features, the extent of the glacier has been reconstructed for different periods (LIA, 1957, 2000, 2006, 2015 and 2017) and their ice volume, maximum ice thickness and ELAs has been calculated. To delimitate the glacier extension during the LIA, the moraines have been mapped by using photo interpretation techniques.
