Mulleres, Tuc de

Overview

The Tuc de Mulleres (3014m) is the most eastern peak of Maladeta’s massif. Because the normal route is a simple walk-up, it's one of the most frequented peaks of the area, and a marvellous watchtower of the North-East of the Massif, especially of the ridge of Salenques and the big Aneto (3404m) with its glacier. The normal route is easy but long, usually more than 4h to the summit, across the beautiful Forau de Aigualluts, one of the places most interesting of the zone. The Forau is the hole where's born the river Garonne from the Aneto's glacier. It exist another route from tunnel de Vielha with the same dificulty.


The peak has two normal routes, from La Besurta and from Tunnel of Vielha. The easier access from Benasque to La Besurta and the visit to the beautiful Forau d’Aigualluts makes this route as most frequented.

As curiosity the name is translated as Women's peak.
