One of the most classical winter climbings of valley of Belagua/Ansó and a beautiful mountain for his characteristic forms of cone. There might be thought that this mountain was a little minimized by his higher companions of this great calcareous massif, but it is not like that, since it possesses in winter a nice and steep totally smooth and unpolluted ramp of snow that attracts the mountaineers for generations.

Othe name in the maps: Mallo Acherito.

The normal route is from the mountain hut of Linza.

Getting There

Red Tape

Mallo de Acherito

No permits required.
The parking of mountain hut of Linza is little for the many mountaineers that come here in a sunny day for what it is advisable to get up early (or to sleep in the mountain hut the previous day). You must remain that Linza is the point of beggining of many routes for others mountains of the zone.

All the year.
In winter is neccesary crampons, ice-axe and even rope. A lot of cold days the ice is dangerous in the final ramp.

Ibón de Acherito

Ibon de Acherito

In the east side of this mountain is the second ibon of Pyrenees, from the west, the Ibón de Acherito, a marvel little lake at 1860 meters surronded of peaks. The Ibons of Pyrenees are lakes of origin glacier of those who exist more than 1000 in this mountainous chain. The route to climb the Ibon is not the same that for this peak since there's a ravine (the barranco de Acherito) that separates the summit and the lake, for what it is not the most direct option and needs an own approximation to enjoy this natural marvel. Generally it's climbed from Guarrinza/La Mina (see route of Barranco de Acherito) near the selva de Oza in the valley of Echo.
