Itinerary description
|
The routes that I share can pass through non-approved and unsignposted trails in a significant part of the route, so whoever decides to do so does so at their own risk and must know the implications of walking on non-approved trails
It is necessary to have GPS. Refrain from doing it if the weather conditions are not favorable or if the ground is wet
It is convenient to consult the information of the waypoints.
IBP index is an automatic evaluation system that rates the difficulty of a route covered by mountain bike, road bike, walking or running.
This index is very useful to know the degree of difficulty of different routes by comparing them with each other and so that each person, depending on their physical condition, can evaluate if the route is suitable for them.
The route has an IBP INDEX of 26

The information contained in My wikiloc routes are the author's own data, opinions and experiences. I am not a mountain guide, I am not qualified to guide people and this route is only a reflection of my experience in doing it. This information can never be considered sufficient to carry out any of the routes or activities described.
To practice adventure sports, hiking, mountaineering, etc..., adequate physical conditions are needed in addition to having technical knowledge and adequate material, as well as knowing the environment, the characteristics of each place and consulting the weather forecasts. Otherwise, if we do not have sufficient knowledge to carry out these activities with guarantees, we must hire the services of a professional or take a training course offered by clubs and federations.
The author is not responsible for the consequences that may arise from the lack of all or part of the above, as well as from the misuse of the information that appears here.
I have done this route at my own risk and the assessment of its difficulty may not be shared by other users. Each one to do it under his own. The routes may be the result of joining various trails, marked or not, so we may not find informative signs or signs during the tour or part of it, so I recommend the use of a GPS device to help us follow the directions. routes and carry spare batteries. The displayed GPS positions are not necessarily an exact guide to the route since the GPS position may have failed or may not be accurate. The photos that are associated with each waypoint may not correspond to that position exactly. The rains, landslides, etc... can cause the state of the tracks and trails to vary. Each one carries out these types of activities under their own responsibility.
Activities in nature carry certain intrinsic risks. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight some recommendations for the practice of hiking, which allow improving the safety of people. You can encourage this behavior by remembering these simple rules, which boil down to the following:
- Prepare in advance the excursion to be carried out:
check the weather forecast and check that the technical characteristics of the route are appropriate for you.
- Clothing and footwear must be suitable for hiking.
- Bring enough food and water in your backpack, something warm, sunscreen, a hat and a charged mobile phone. Walking sticks may also be helpful.
- Always walk in company and only on the marked path.
- Always inform family or friends of the route you are going to take.
Remember: traveling through the natural environment carries risks. You walk at your own risk. Be wise. If you need it, call 911 (112).
It is recommended to have a transmitter to increase safety in the mountains:
Channel 7 Subtone 7 Initiative for Mountain Safety
The #Canal77PMR Initiative aims to increase the safety of all those people who carry out activities in the mountains carrying a small transmitter/walkie without a license that can be purchased at any large store or on the Internet.
A single communication channel has been established (Channel 7 and subtone 7), since if we use different channels, it loses all meaning.
The initiative consists of three premises:
1) Coordination within the same mountain group: In hiking it allows communication between the first and the last, preventing the first ones from separating too much from the furthest behind. In case of need, you can contact the first one for help. In climbing, it allows communication between the first and second in the roped, avoiding possible confusion and accidents. In canyoning it allows you to determine when the rope is free.
2) Give or receive help from other mountaineering groups that are in the vicinity: In case of needing urgent help, since we are all on the same channel we can give/receive help from groups that are carrying out activities in the vicinity.
3) Direct communication with the Rescue Groups: In the event that we have asked the rescue groups for help by the usual means, they will be able to contact us in their approach to the place, being able to expand the information and/or guide with more precision. .
The Civil Guard announces in its brochure the 146.175 Mhz frequency, widely used by shelters in Aragon, but it can only be used if we have a station and a license to operate this equipment, as well as being members of REMER. If so, current equipment allows both frequencies to be set, the #Canal77PMR initiative being complementary since the latter is free to use and without a license (446.08125 Mhz Subtone 85.4).
This initiative is not intended to modify the usual emergency alert procedure nor to replace the mobile phone, it is only intended to publicize one more tool that provides safety in the mountains.
The low price of PMR devices and the ease of acquiring them on the market have led to their popularization among the population for recreational purposes, but their use should be encouraged in all mountain outings as one more security element, since the more PMR devices listening on channel 7-7 exist, the greater the guarantees will be to receive prompt assistance in the event of an unexpected problem in places far from the usual scope of action of traditional emergency services
