  10. National Park of "Ordesa y Monte Perdido"

    The National Park of "Ordesa y Monte Perdido" is situated in the Spanish side of the Pyrenees at Huesca, Aragón.
    Declared a National Park in 1918 by a Royal Decree, this IUCN Category II National Park becomes every year meeting point for mountaineers and
    families around Europe and even overseas.
    Today it has 156 km² and it's included in the Biosphere Reserve of "Ordesa-Viñamala" declared by UNESCO in 1997.

    Its orography is dominated by the calcareous mass (the biggest of Europe) of the massiff of the Three "Sorores", "Treserols", whose greater elevation is the "Monte Perdido" (3355m), from which in a more or less radial form descend a series of impressive mountainous crests and glacial valleys beeing the most characteristic the "Ordesa Canyon (or Valley)".

    In the French territory it's called "Pyrenees" National Park and it shares with Spain wonderful places like the "Circus of Gavarnie" (a glacial cirque with the highest waterfall in Europe with more than 400 meters of vertical fall) or the impressive "Brecha de Rolando -Brèche de Roland in french-" a natural gap, 40m across and 100m high at an altitude of 2804m.
