Pyrenean Adventure 3: Anayet
15 January, 2018X-Pyr 2016 Turnpoint 3: Anayet (2,545m)
Anayet is deep in the Pyrenees and there’s no way to reach this magical place without flying or enjoying a wonderful but long hike from the trailhead below Candanchu ski station.
Fly across from nearby Hecho, where you can start on foothills that face the prevailing SW wind. If N wind, avoid flying down to the Panticosa or Canfranc valleys, as they will be under the influence of Fogony (Föhn).
With a S, it makes sense to fly out early in the day, avoiding the trap of getting too deep and being pinned by valley winds. Head S past Canfranc, or take the tigerline to Biescas, where an excellent launch overlooks more welcoming terrain.
