  Maladeta

The peak of Maladeta is one of the most importants of the Maladeta Massif for his alpine aspect, the privileged position in the center of massif, and for give the name to the full massif.

The first explorers thought that’s the highest point of the massif and the full range of Pyrenees (it’s an optic effect when we see the full massif with this peak in the center, it seem the highest) but after the first climb in 1817 by F. Parrot and P. Barrau, they seek a highest peak in the eastern side of the massif, the peak Aneto (3404m). The legendary guide of -Luchon P. Barrau died in this mountain some years later, in the access to Col de la Rimaya.
