Walk around the Tozal de Pozos
This walk starting from Laspuña takes you right up to the foot of the Peña Monatñesa and offers some views of the Cinca Valley, the Pyrenean peaks to the north-west and, of course, the Peña itself. Most of the route is in the welcome shade of the umbrella pines, with the notable exception of the end of the descent, which can be gruelling in full sun. In fine weather, make sure you carry enough water for the end of the walk. In wet weather, the descent is undoubtedly dangerous, as it is very slippery. Much of the route is marked with yellow and white signs.
Starting from the Laspuña car park, walk round the school and the adjoining field, then take the path that climbs up to the left. The path follows the valley floor as it ascends.

Departure from Boltaña (Huesca)
A walk that will allow you to discover a canyon featuring magnificent pools with a final surprise: the Confesionnario waterfall, also known as Conoelmundo. This can be done by walking up the canyon (wear shoes that can get wet) or by taking the path that runs along the top of the canyon. The best time to visit is May–June. From the car park, it’s a 10-minute walk and, after crossing the river, you reach the first pool. After 150 m along the path from the first pool, you reach the river again. You’ll come across two signposts about 20 m apart, which will guide you to the waterfall via the canyon or the path. You can complete a circular walk as shown on the .gpx file
