EXCURSION TO Pico MONDOTO

Mondoto Peak 1960 m

El Mondoto is a hill located on the edge of the cliffs of the Añisclo Canyon. With this excursion we will know the Canyon of Añisclo from "the heights". An area where you can discover the immensity of the place. Enjoy the views over a large part of the peaks of more than 3000mts of the National Park. Enjoy the flight of vultures and Bearded Vultures, for example, that nest on the walls of the Añisclo Canyon, below our feet.

First, we will drive to Nerin1280mts (45min from Torla). Once there, along a path that runs through low forest, we will gain height with views of the Sestrales and Peña Montañesa until the scrub forest is transformed into tall grasses and we are reaching the high plains of the area. In this area we will find snow. Arriving at 1700 / 1800mts, we will have to use snowshoes.

Once there we will approach the "prows" of the Canyon of Añisclo until the Mondoto 1960mts right in the cut of the Canyon and with spectacular views of it (1100mts wall under our feet), and the most important peaks in the area, Tres Sorores (Monte Perdido, Cilindro and Soum de Ramond or Pico de Añisclo). The descent will be by the same path.
