The numerous peaks that exceed 3.000 meters high or the rocks with beautiful views, are just an incentive to travel there and stroll through this village of Tena Valley.

From the Spa, there are several trails that bring the mountaineer to the many ions (mountain lakes) and peaks, as well as a France port once used by smugglers who negotiated with the neighboring Bearn Valley. As examples of important peaks are Infiernos, Argualas, Peña Blanca or Peña Telera.
