Our tip: Caution! The Ordesa and Monte Perdido region is a high-mountain landscape, and while stunning, it comes with potential risks. Unpredictable weather, sudden violent storms, accumulations of snow and ice, and fog can occur without warning. Ensure you are equipped with suitable mountain gear and carry enough food, water, and warm clothing. Stay on marked trails and avoid hiking at night. Before your visit, we strongly recommend reading up on the area or stopping by the Park's Visitor Centers and information offices to get advice and tips from the staff on how to navigate safely.
