About
A 160 km thread through the Pyrenees, the Camino Aragonés starts at Urdos and climbs to the Somport Pass (1,632m) before plunging into the eerie silence of the Valle de Canfranc railway station. Jaca’s Romanesque cathedral stands watch, a reminder of centuries gone by.
With a total elevation gain of 2,071m, this route tests your legs and nourishes your spirit. Six stages, each a chapter; every step, a reflection.
The scent of pine and damp earth envelops you, whispering that this is no ordinary trek, but a journey through both land and self.
