Argualas

Located in the Pyrenees mountain range, Pico Argualas rises to an elevation of 3,044 meters with a prominence of 118 meters above the surrounding landscape.

The mountain formations in this region of the Pyrenees date back to the Alpine orogeny, when the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided 65 million years ago.

The surrounding Aragon region maintains traditional mountain shepherding practices, with local communities preserving ancient routes through these elevated landscapes.

Climbers access the summit through the Cresta del Algas trail, requiring proper mountaineering equipment and favorable weather conditions for a safe ascent.

The northern face of Argualas contains geological formations that reveal distinct layers of metamorphic rock, displaying millions of years of mountain development.
