Linza

Valle de Ansó, Huesca (Aragon)

Linza is a small cross-country area by a staffed refuge at the top of the Ansó valley, in the Parque Natural de los Valles Occidentales. The trails are few and short, but the setting of limestone mountains and beech forest is magnificent. People come here for the peace and nature rather than for long sessions.
