The valley of Alto Aragón (around the river Aragon) or valley of Canfranc is very humanized with ski-resorts, villages, forest tracks... generally the access to trailheads of mountains is very good but the nature is less "wild" with some degradations of the terrain.
The main city is Jaca but the historic village is Canfranc, very near of the line of mountain chain.
