Our emblematic peaks.
Since two French cartographers, and later a climber from Sallent, reached the top of Pico de los Moros or Balaitús (3,144 m) for the first time, every year countless people attempt the climb; and some succeed. It is one of the star peaks for Pyrenees mountaineers, along with the Midi d’Ossau, though the Midi is less than 3,000 metres.
Although managed locally, the climbing huts’ (refugios de montaña) infrastructure provided by the Aragon Mountaineering Federation (Federación Aragonesa de Montañismo) is excellent, as it allows climbers to reduce the load they have to carry and so enjoy the exceptional scenery at hand even more, if that’s possible. The huts in the area are as follows:
Refugio de Respomuso
Refugio Casa de Piedra
Refugio Ibones de Bachimaña
