Slope: 1548 m+ y 1170 m-
It gives its name to the massif and was the largest until the Aneto was discovered. For its glacier the best descent in quality of snow in the Pyrenees. Alpine for the last stretch to reach the top, Maladetas corridor.

Day 4: Aneto (3404 m)

Slope: 1400 m+ y 1665 m-
The top of the Pyrenees. It requires us to reach the top of the pass of Mahoma, the last challenge before enjoying a descent of more than 1400 m direct to the Forau de Aigualluts. Then a small ascent to the Antonio pass to go down to La Renclusa Refuge.

Day 5: Alba Peak (3107 m)
