Overview

The highest point of the range of Tendenera or Tendeñera is a spectacular rocky summit of form trapezoidal, slender and with powerful edges. The range, aligned of W. to E., the same as its western neighbour, the range of the Partacua, it's found split of the Pyrenean axial chain possessing because of it the privilege of magnificent views. Its mountains reach important heights of imposing form on the valleys, being the main from W. to E. : Peña Blanca (2,556 m), Peña Roya (2,578 m), Peña Sabocos (2,757 m), Mallo de las Peñas (2,662 m), Forato des Diaples (2,715 m), Ripera or Mallo de las Blancas (2,823 m), Tendeñera (2,853 m) and Otal (2,709 m). It exists many other smaller summits, several of them also above the 2000m.

A lot of people have impressed by the great slope to gain and the long routes that show the maps and many mountaineers will disdain its ascent, more still because the peak do not reach the mythical 3,000 m, but the pyreneist can enjoy of a great mountain. The fact that none of the trails of approximation be open to cars, it does neither help, for which you can opt for the overnight one in some of the tumbledown refuge or to try to obtain the permission or the key in some of the local City Hall (it's very difficult).
