Benasque is best known in Aragon for anchoring the Benasque Valley beneath the Maladeta massif in the central Pyrenees. The Ésera River runs through this high mountain valley, where routes lead towards Posets-Maladeta Natural Park and the Aneto massif; Aneto is the highest summit in the Pyrenees. The town’s compact historic centre retains stone-built Pyrenean architecture, while its cultural identity is also expressed in patués, the local Benasquese speech. Benasque is a useful base for walking, climbing and winter sports in the surrounding valleys.
