That is 43 percent of the 35 routes we map near Huesca. They run noticeably longer than average for the area, 53.7 km against 33.6 km, so budget more daylight than a typical outing here. The climbing is steeper too: 1,133 m (3,717 ft) on average versus 672 m (2,205 ft) across the wider area.

High-season routes, most of which only come into condition once the snow has cleared from the upper sections. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
