Once you get to know the Aragonese Pyrenees you won't want to leave. Especially if you are looking for nature and tranquillity, this area, which stands out for the beauty of its territory, offers you its magic in every corner you step in.
The landscape of the Aragonese Pyrenees is made up of enormous mountains, with the highest peaks in Spain standing over 3,000 metres high, as well as valleys full of nature, crystal-clear lakes and spectacular ravines where the more adventurous can enjoy adventure activities.
The region corresponding to the Aragonese side of the Pyrenees is made up of five counties, each with a special interest. Pay attention because now you can enjoy them in depth.
What to visit in the Sobrarbe region?
If there is one thing this area of Aragon’s Pyrenees is known for, it is the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, where you will find numerous hiking routes, among which we would like to highlight the Cola de Caballo Route, which is approximately 18 kilometres long and has a spectacular reward in the form of a waterfall.
The Bujaruelo Valley is another great option if you want to enjoy medium and high-difficulty mountain routes.
As for villages, this region has some of the most interesting and touristy ones, such as Aínsa, Torla and Broto, all of them charming medieval villages where you can enjoy the essence of the Pyrenees.
And in the region of Ribagorza?
Here you will find some of the most unusual places for tourists. If we tell you there is a Chinese Wall here, you’ll have to believe it. This spectacular geographical landmark, known as the wall of Roques de la Vila, lies between the autonomous regions of Aragon and Catalonia.
But if that doesn't impress you, setting foot on the Montfalcó footbridge certainly will. An ideal excursion for you to enjoy nature firsthand.
What if I travel to the Alto Gállego region?
Then you will have chosen a very charming destination with views of the Tena Valley. What's more, if you're a lover of snow sports, you're in the perfect place. The ski resorts of Formigal and Panticosa are full of people eager to cross the seas of snow on skis. And when you've finished skiing, the Panticosa Spa is waiting for you, a haven of peace in the water from which you'll emerge almost floating.
As for more urban tourism, the village of Lanuza is an ideal option to explore the typical stone and black-slate architecture that is typical of this region.
What does La Jacetania have to offer?
Spectacular views and monuments, especially in the town of Jaca, which is one of the most touristy and where you will find plenty of rural accommodation perfect for you to enjoy your holidays.
The Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, perfectly integrated in the rock, is an authentic marvel. Its origin dates back to the 11th century and is, both in itself and as a whole, a visit not to be missed.
Finally, a visit to Canfranc Station is one of the attractions in the area, where, as well as appreciating the beauty of the building, you'll be able to step inside an abandoned carriage.
