Salenques–Tempestades ridge to Aneto

Climb the Salenques–Tempestades ridge to the summit of Aneto, one of the great ridge traverses of the Pyrenees. The route combines route-finding, rock climbing, exposed sections and a long day in high-mountain terrain.

The ascent demands experience, endurance and sound ropework. Your guide organises the stages according to the conditions and the group within a two-day programme.

The trip is offered from June to October for 1 to 2 participants. Read the technical prerequisites, itinerary and equipment list before arranging your ascent with PirineoSur.
