In a few words
This 3-day trek, accompanied by your guide , is self-supported, meaning you carry your own tent and food. Located in Aragon , more precisely in the Monte Perdido massif , the Añisclo Canyon , a smaller version of the Ordesa Canyon, will surprise you with its Wild West atmosphere. You'll need to be fit for these 3 days; even though the route doesn't present any major technical difficulties, the weight of your pack each day requires endurance. But what could be better than falling asleep and waking up to the sun illuminating the mountains ?

The trek begins at the base of the canyon, with the impressive cliffs that line the Añisclo Canyon directly in front of you, seemingly insurmountable. Fortunately, your guide is there! He will help you reach the canyon's summit, but it will require considerable effort, especially with your heavy packs. Once you reach the campsite, all that's left is to set up camp and settle in facing the mountain to enjoy some slices of sausage as an appetizer.

After a good night's sleep on your mattress, you might be awakened by the tinkling of cowbells. You can then enjoy breakfast overlooking the Aragonese landscape before packing up camp. Today, there are fewer climbs than yesterday, the aim being to circumnavigate the canyon. However, by following a path well hidden in the cliffs, you descend back down to the river before climbing up the other side to reach your new bivouac site.

After your second night in a tent, you'll feel like a nomad. With a lighter pack, you'll descend into the canyon to reach a trail that runs alongside the water. The sunlight will fade, but it's at the bottom of the canyon that vegetation reclaims its territory. It's also there that you'll truly appreciate the power of the water that has shaped this landscape over millennia.
