With the Pyrenees to the north and the mountain ranges of the Iberian System to the south, 43% of the surface area of Aragon is mountainous. Additionally, Aragon is home to the highest summit and the largest number of three-thousanders in the entire Pyrenees (more than 150, with Aneto as the highest) and also the highest summit of the Iberian System (Moncayo). All these are, without a doubt, highly attractive for mountaineers and hikers alike, but it is worth mentioning that all mountain activities require skill, preparation and specific technical equipment. To avoid unwanted accidents and to enjoy the mountains to the fullest, we advise you to take a look at the website of the Montaña Segura (Safe Mountaineering) campaign (www.montanasegura.com) and to follow the 3 simple steps there: PLAN the activity, EQUIP your rucksack and EXERCISE caution.
