Aneto

The Aneto Peak rises to 3404 meters with steep northern slopes and granite formations that extend across the Maladeta massif in the Central Pyrenees.

The first documented climb of Aneto occurred on July 20, 1842, when Platon de Tchihatcheff and his team successfully reached the summit and marked it with stones.

Local shepherds in the valleys maintain traditional agricultural practices by using the mountain slopes as summer pastures for their livestock herds.

The ascent from Renclusa Refuge involves crossing glacial terrain and navigating the exposed granite ridge known as Mohammed Bridge before reaching the summit.

The mountain creates a natural watershed boundary where rivers flow toward both the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea from its slopes.
