Translates as what? I did hear and remember seeing images of Gavarnie but never before - if my memory serves me well - have I heard of Colomers. Fabulous place, a bit bigger Tatras :-), beautiful pix.
No idea what Colomers means. Aranese (from Val d'Aran) is a very specific language, which is a bit of a relict of Catalan mixed with ancien french Gascon (the valley was an "island of spain" for years before the tunnel was built)
Hi Visentin. I climbed the route some weeks ago. Some info:
Early in the season (May-June, and this year even late July) there is a rather steep snow field on the way up to col southwest of the final summit. Crampons and/or ice-axe is recommended. You can avoid most of the snow by climbing (grade I-II) more directly to the summit and not going to the col, but the easier way is across the snow.

Re: Fine job, VisentinNo, hadn't seen it up to this moment... Another fine job, a very graphical (maps, photographs,...) page. :)
