Pico Maldito

Pico Maldito rises to 3350 meters, forming part of the Maladeta massif with its steep granite faces and exposed climbing routes to the top.

The mountain gained recognition among alpinists during the 19th century, when explorers began documenting and ascending the major peaks of the Pyrenees.

Local shepherds from Benasque Valley maintain traditional grazing practices around the mountain's base, preserving centuries-old agricultural methods.

Climbers can access the summit through technical routes starting from the Coronas Lakes, with essential mountaineering equipment required for the ascent.

The peak stands as the fourth highest in the Pyrenees, featuring permanent ice formations and offering views of thirteen glaciers in the surrounding area.
