In terms of landscapes and natural beauty, Aragon is exceptional. It is famous for the highest peaks in the Pyrenees, with Pico de Aneto as the loftiest peak; the Pre-Pyrenean mountain ranges, with Guara and the Mallos de Riglos as popular destinations for adventure sports worldwide; and the Iberian System, with Mount Moncayo as its highest peak and some of the most breathtakingly rugged terrain in Teruel.

The wild beauty of the mountains is offset by the Ebro depression, with the scenery found around the fastest flowing river on the Iberian Peninsula, as well as the unique steppes surrounding it. Just as spectacular is the endorheic basin of Gallocanta, with its large herds of cranes and the many birds visiting it and the countless nooks and crannies hidden among this landscape waiting to be discovered.

HIKING IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO GET FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE OF ALL THE NATURAL AREAS THAT ARAGON HAS TO OFFER, FROM THE SOUTHERNMOST GLACIERS IN EUROPE, FOUND ON THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE PYRENEES, TO THE ARID STEPPES OF THE EBRO VALLEY AND THE FASCINATING MOUNTAIN RANGES OF TERUEL.

HIKINGARAGON

More than 20,000 kilometres of waymarked trails, divided into about 600 routes of all levels of difficulty, distance, elevation change and skill, which covers all of Aragon.

Options are many and varied: from the Long-Distance Paths (some of which are world-famous) to the more family-friendly Local Trails, with a great number of Short-Distance Paths and many other kinds of trails.

These trails are, without a doubt, great tourist draws, which is why the regional government is promoting the network of Hiking Trails of Aragon.

The brand Hiking Trails of Aragon guarantees quality and safety for users, encompassing aspects such as their maintenance over time and joint promotional actions through different platforms: tourist brochures like this one, the website senderosturisticos.turismodearagon.com and the app developed for this purpose.

Indeed, the reason for regulating the trails of Aragon and creating this designation is to offer a homogeneous and easily identifiable product through waymarking, making hiking safe and enjoyable.

The new signage for the Hiking Trails of Aragon makes use of its own logo with all kinds of useful information: trail name, directional arrows, identifying marks for GR, PR and SL paths or other distinctive marks (Camino de Santiago, Nature Network of Aragon, etc.), distance expressed in kilometres, time according to the MIDE (Excursion Information Method), etc. In addition, different types of panels contribute towards proper interpretation of and familiarity with the trail.

Together with the Hiking Trails of Aragon, there are also trails that have not yet been given this designation, but are likewise of interest, which is why they were originally waymarked. There are those which are GR, PR or SL paths, while others are long-distance walking routes such as the Camino de Santiago or the Camino del Cid; still others are part of the Nature Trails Network of the Ministry of the Environment, while the rest are small yet delightful routes closer to home.

These are the trails that you will find in this guide:
