Aneto meaning
Aneto in english!
At 3404m (11,168ft) Aneto is the highest mountain in the Pyrenees with Pico Posets 3371m and Monte Perdido 3355m being the second and third highest. Aneto is just over 6km south of the French / Spanish border and sits within the Posets – Maladeta Natural Park in the province of Aragon and in the Benasque Valley.
It’s first ascent was made on July 20th 1842 by a slightly contorted route due to the party losing their way and also wanting to avoid the glacier which sits on it’s Northern side.
4 days later Aneto’s second ascent was made via the Aneto Glacier which, although not without risk, was a much more natural route and has now become known as the ‘via normal’ – ‘Normal route’.
Over 150 years since it’s first ascent, the Aneto Glacier is still the largest glacier in the Pyrenees however it is reducing in size annually and predictions sadly suggest it will have disappeared completely by 2050.
