                A variant of the tour of the Mallos de Riglos, already described in Visorando, which offers beautiful views of the Pyrenees and a return via a spectacular balcony path, El camino de Solano.

                This well-marked trail leads from the village around the Mallos, impressive rock structures. There are two versions of the circular trail, this one being the shorter.
On sunny days, groups of climbers can be seen scaling these vertiginous walls, but this is obviously only for experienced, fully-equipped climbers.

                Climb to the top of the Peña de Oroel, Jaca's rocky outcrop, a superb vantage point overlooking a large part of the Aragonese Pyrenees.

                One of Jaca's great classics, the ascent to the Peña de Oroel cross can be enhanced by a beautiful ridge route and a wilder forest descent than the round trip via the normal route. Magnificent 360° views all along the ridge.

                A circular route with few slopes and two pretty bridges, allowing you to explore the villages and surroundings of the town of Jaca (Spain, province of Huesca). Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Shade, but not all the time..

When the weather is bad in the Aspe Valley, it may be wise to go through the Somport tunnel and look for routes a little further south, where the sun may be shining. Here we present a fairly short, unpretentious but very accessible and frankly pretty (in our opinion) loop.El Paco is the cooler, wooded northern slope of a mountain, covered here with a protected pine forest, and La Fuente is a spring (fountain).

                On the Way of St James, between Villanúa and Castiello de Jaca            
            
         
        
        
                The Camino de Santiago (or "Camino francés") leaves the mountains here and follows the Aragon valley towards the stopover town of Jaca. Between the two villages mentioned, the route is easy but picturesque, with beautiful views of the peaks and forests... and a convenient train to return to the starting point. The route can easily be done in reverse, which may or may not be convenient depending on train timetables. With a few adjustments at the start, the route can be done by mountain bike.

                The immense forests that dominate the Canfranc resort hide many secrets: amazing hydraulic structures, comfortable paths to access them, unique vegetation and a little-known history. Hiking in this setting is all the more enjoyable, even if the gentle slope of the paths means you cover more ground than you might imagine.

                A relatively short route to one of the best viewpoints in the upper Canfranc Valley, offering views of both Canfranc-Gare international station and the Candanchú ski resort.

                A beautiful loop starting from Piedrafita de Jaca with a visit to a geological curiosity, the Sarronal Arch.

                The aim here is to make a loop. You will need to climb down a small chimney and follow a path that runs along the cliff and takes you down a ladder. Magnificent view of the peaks and the valley below.

                This round trip hike is mostly in Spain and is suitable for all walkers. It is a very easy family walk. The green surroundings are home to marmots and chamois, if you know where to look. From the end of June onwards, numerous flocks of sheep, cows and horses graze here. The lake is splendid and is surrounded by white rock mountains on the left with the Aspe peak and the Visaurin and on the right by red rocks with the Gabedaille peak.

                An easy loop allowing you to discover the diversity of landscapes and natural areas on the northern flank of the Col du Somport. The climbs are gentle and the route is fairly easy to follow, provided you have a map on your phone with GPS. In addition, the Espace Somport is a pleasant place to relax. Everything you need for a "cool hike"!

                Hike to revisit
A little-used border hike offering views of the three valleys of Aspe, Canfranc and Ossau from above. Stunning views in all directions. Route for hikers: you will need to find your bearings at the start as there are no signposts. The end of the route can be avoided by hikers who suffer from vertigo.            
            
            
    
                 Foz de Arbayun forest
                Foz de Arbayun forest            
            
        
                A version of the Foz discovery trail from the top, on a balcony, but with lots of forest sections.
This route isn't better than the others, it's just different, particularly at the end to avoid the return journey via too many roads.For the panoramic photos that adventurers want to take high above the cliff, I recommend a piece of rope tied to a tree.            
            
            
    
                 Lake Anayet
                Lake Anayet            
            
        
                Hike from the car park at the Fomigal Zona Anayet resort towards Lake Anayet.
Follow the GR®11 trail. Pass through the Garganta and continue on to Lake Anayet. Once at the lake, the view of the Pic du Midi d'Ossau is magnificent, as are the setting, colours and reflections.
You can also climb the Cuello de Anayet pass (2,414 m) and then the Punta del Garmo (2,555 m), which are off the trail.            
            
            
    
                 Pic El Pacino circular from Sallent de Gallego
                Pic El Pacino circular from Sallent de Gallego            
            
        
                El Pacino offers a unique 360-degree panorama of the Aragonese and French peaks, including the Pic du Midi d'Ossau in Béarn, and a beautiful variety of vegetation, although it is sometimes too exuberant as it often invades the trails.

                Magnificent views of the French (Pic de Peyrelue, Soques, Balaïtous) and Spanish (Foratata, Sabocos, Pala de IP...) peaks of the Pyrenees on this moderately difficult loop trail, which goes around the El Forato massif, a group of several peaks very close to each other. Difficult if, like me, you choose to climb the peak from the landmark. Walking sticks are highly recommended for the descent. Lots of marmots along the route.
