Follow a well-marked trail from the car park towards the south-east. The last few metres of the climb require climbing a few rungs of a ladder fixed to the rock. However, you can stop at this point.
Salto de Roldan
The Saltode Roldán("Roland's Leap") is a rock formation located near Huesca in Upper Aragon. It consists of two peaks, Peña San Miguel and Peña Amán.
Legend has it that Roland, returning to France and seeking to escape his pursuers, jumped between the two peaks.

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.

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.
