What's included?

Is this for me?

This trek is certainly possible for anyone with a good level of health and fitness, but we would not recommend it as a beginner’s trek. This trek is suited for those who are regular walkers (or runners) with good foot skills who don’t suffer vertigo. But it’s worth the views from the summit. However your leader will back you up on some rocky sections.

What will we do?

We walk from the Font de Partagat to Font de Mendoz and then scramble through Pas de la Rabosa, the only natural break on the Aitana, which gives access to the summit from this north side. We have lunch at the Simas limestone fissures, up to 90m deep, situated on a ridge near the summit of Aitana. It is an impressive geological formation and a perfect picnic spot. Weather permitting, it’s possible to climb the summit (an extra 20 minutes up). After lunch we enjoy beautiful ridge walk with 360° views back to car park.

How long will it take?

Walking time is 4 h including stops 6 h.

Where do we go?

We start our walk at Font de Partagat, Benifato.
