Sabocos

Overview

Sabocos is the second highest mountain of Tendeñera’s range and it’s the most important at West of the main summit. Its great presence is always visible from the roads of Tena’s valley and the North face is very knows in winter when the ski-resort of Panticosa is open. The normal route is easy on summer when the snow doesn’t appear in its faces but it’s a little bit uncomfortable because it has a lot of stones. It’s not dangerous but some parts of the route are only for mountaineers.

The shortest route is from North but you has another option from South from the tracks of the village of Gavin but it’s very long.

Routes from the North:
-Cable-way of Ski resort to Ibon de Asnos: (2h)
-Ski-resort of village of Panticosa: (4h)
-Track of Hoz de Jaca: you can drive across a forest track of 7,5 km to the same point of cable way but without payment, but the track don’t have asphalt: (2h)

Routes from South:
-Gavín: track of barranco del Infierno between Gavin and Yesero (5h)
