Aneto's summit and glacier seen from the upper Portillon Mountaineer on the last stretch to Aneto' summit, Mohammed's Pass. Aneto [2] is the highest mountain in the Pyrenees and in Aragon, and Spain's third-highest mountain, [3] reaching a height of 3,404 metres (11,168 feet).
As a result, locals became fearful of venturing out on the ice, considering it cursed. The movement of the glacier in 1931 exposed the body. In the early twentieth century, the Refugio de la Renclusa mountain hut was opened. It has a capacity of 93 and is the most common starting point for climbing the Aneto.
The Aneto glacier has been affected severely by climate change, losing 30 meters of thickness since 1981, and in total losing 64% of its mass. In 2023, scientists conducting a study on the Aneto glacier found the glacier to be in a terminal state, and predicted that the Aneto glacier will be gone by the 2030s. [1]
The Vignemale is also the site of the second largest of the Pyrenean glaciers (after the one on Aneto), the Ossoue / Osso (with around 0.6 km 2), across which the "voie normale", or standard route to the summit travels. One of its most dramatic aspects is the North Face upon which lie a number of serious ascent routes requiring skill and ...

On its north face is the Aneto glacier, the largest glacier in the Pyrenees with an area of 64 hectares (160 acres) in 2007. [4] The latter is in sharp decline due to climate change . During the last century it has lost more than half of its surface, and by 2050 it could disappear.
The southernmost persistent glacial masses in Europe are mainly small glaciers, glacierets, and perennial firn fields and patches, located in the highest mountains of the three big southern European peninsulas - the Balkan, the Apennine, and the Iberian, the southernmost ranges of the Alps and the glaciers on the european northwestern slopes of the Greater Caucasus mountains in Russia.
