The area has numerous walks so it is possible to spend a week or more exploring the region by crossing mountain passes between valleys at staying at the mountain huts.
At the end of your trip spend a night or two in the pretty spa town and winter ski resort of Cauterets, which has bus connections to Lourdes.

Aconcagua
At 6962 metres Aconcagua is the highest peak in the world outside of the Himalayas and one of the Seven Summits. It is the highest mountain in the Americas and it dominates the great Andes mountain range that forms the spine of South America. Although Aconcagua is within the abilities of most strong, fit and experienced trekkers, this mighty mountain is not an easy undertaking.
There are three non-technical routes up the mountain - trails that bypass the Polish Glacier. We describe each route, suggest itineraries and provide you with the information you need to plan an expedition to the summit. If you have recently returned from a trip to Aconcagua, please contribute your information, tips and advice so other climbers can benefit from your experience.
