Route Description
collado de Coronas
Coll. Coronas from S.
collado de CoronasWe'll begin on the Puente de Coronas (1950m) in the end of the track of Vallibierna. We'll walk the track some meters to its bifurcation taking the path of left side signaled as Lagos de Coronas. After the ascension to some rocky blocks we'll reach the Ibon inferior de Coronas (2235m). This small lake is one of the most important places of the route because some cairns go to the left to Pico Aragüells and another cairns on right side go to Ridge of Llosás. Initially we'll get the same route of Aragüells bordering the small lake for the left side until the first Lake of Coronas (2630m). This is the place to leave the route of Aragüells. The first lake it's possible to border across both sides but probably is most evident the right side with some cairns to reach the little river between both lakes. Following the river we'll reach the Second Lake of Coronas (2725m). From this point we'll see Aneto and the evident col of left side, it's the collado de Coronas. Leaving the lake on left side we'll walk among the sea of stones (morrena) or snow (Spring) across a spun on left side in direction initially to Pico Coronas turning to right side near of the wall to reach the bottom of the access to the col. In early summer remain the snow generally in this place. The wall seems impressive from this point but it's an easy rock-climb across a few of repises (F). On the Collado de Coronas (3195m) we'll access to the glacier of Aneto reaching the normal route from Portillones to reach the summit of Aneto (3404m) across the ramp of snow and the Paso de Mahoma.
