Overview

 
 
 
 

When I written the page of peaks of Besiberri some years ago, I don’t consider this mountain as relevant to summitpost, but the classification of the summit as one of the most important of the massif of Pyrenees and the long route to connect the ascension of both small ranges Besiberris-Comaloforno makes reconsider it. I consider is necessary to add this peak because the routes have some rock-climbs of II or II+. The peak is difficult for all the routes, and you can climb the nice Besiberri Sud (3.024m) if you don't like the rock-climbs.

Routes:
1) From Dam of Cavallers:
-Ravine of Malavesina: P.D.inf.
-Paso del Onso: P.D.inf.

2) From Caldes de Boi or Tunnel of Vielha (both routes reach the same col of Abellers):
-Ridge North: P.D.
-Face West: P.D.inf.

Getting There

 
 

Access to the area of Alta Ribagorça
-From France: in the north across the tunnel of Vielha from the area of Pau-Tarbes to St. Girons.
-From Spain: Huesca and Zaragoza across Barbastro. C-1311 to Grauss and Benabarre. N-230 to Pont de Suert and the villages of Caldes de Boí, Boí or Taüll.

Trailheads: Estany de Cavallers (1785m, 3 km to north of Caldes de Boí), Caldes de Boí (1470m), Conangles-tunnel of Vielha (1585m).

Red Tape

 
 

Some part of the route from Estany de Cavallers is in the Naturak Park of Aigüestortes.

Camping

Campings and hotels in Boí, Taüll, Caldes de Boí… in winter the ski resort of Boí-Taüll is working and it's most difficult to find lodge.
