Castillo d'Acher

Castillo de Acher rises to an elevation of 2,384 meters in the Pyrenees, displaying a natural formation that resembles the shape of a fortress.

The mountain's name originates from the Achar de los Hombres pass, which served as a significant route for merchants and smugglers through the Pyrenees.

Local mountaineers and hiking groups regularly organize expeditions to this peak, contributing to the strong outdoor recreation traditions of the Huesca region.

The standard climbing route begins at Selva de Oza, with the final ascent requiring careful navigation due to potential icy conditions in winter months.

This mountain formation represents a hung syncline, creating a distinctive silhouette that stands out among the 132 peaks of Parque Natural de los Valles Occidentales.
