Natural Park of Posets-Maladeta, Natural park in Aragonese Pyrenees, Spain.

The park encompasses 33,440 hectares of mountain terrain, featuring the highest peaks of the Pyrenees including Aneto at 3,404 meters elevation point.

Established in 1994, this protected area emerged as a response to preserve the last permanent glaciers in southern Europe within the Pyrenean mountain range.

The five municipalities within the park - Benasque, Gistaín, Montanuy, Sahún, and San Juan de Plan - maintain traditional mountain farming practices.

Three interpretation centers located in Benasque, Aneto, and San Juan de Plan provide visitors with information about the park's natural features and hiking trails.

The park contains over one hundred mountain lakes called ibons, formed by ancient glacial activity, creating distinct alpine water reservoirs.

Inception: 1994
