The area

The Jacetania is the westernmost region of the Pyrenees in Huesca: green valleys, gorges carved by rivers and a string of glacial lakes hanging high up. An authentic mountain territory, less crowded than the central Pyrenees.

Jaca — 25 km · 30 min
Huesca — 95 km · 1.5 h
Zaragoza — 170 km · 2.5 h

The meeting point is in Jacetania (Huesca), near Jaca and the western valleys. By car, take the A-23 highway to Jaca and from there to the valleys. If using public transport, there are train and bus services to Jaca; from the station we will tell you how to get to the starting point. Daily transfers to each route will be made in the company’s vehicle.

Who this fits

With friends Adventure Ecotourism Disconnection

It’s a good fit if you enjoy mountain hiking and want to discover the ibones without worrying about logistics. A reasonable level of fitness is needed for 4-5 hours of hiking with elevation gain, but no technical experience is required. This isn’t high-altitude mountaineering involving ropes or crampons. If you're looking to see lakes from the car or don’t want to walk several hours a day, this trip isn't for you.

Frequently asked

Got a question not listed here? Just ask.

How many hours of walking are there each day?

Between 4 and 5 hours for a half-day trip, with plenty of time to stop, have a meal and enjoy each lake at your own pace.

What if a high mountain lake is still frozen?

The guide chooses the ibones based on the actual mountain conditions at those dates. If one is inaccessible, they will substitute it with an equivalent alternative.

Is transportation included?

Yes, daily transfers to each route starting point are made in the company vehicle. Getting to the area is on your own.

Can I go if I have no mountain experience?

Yes, as long as you have a reasonable level of fitness for walking several hours with elevation gain. No technique is required, just the desire to hike.
