Monte Perdido – The Great Mountain of Spain

If you want to enjoy trekking and exploring a tall mountain, then there is no better place than Monte Perdido, Spain. This mountain, which is about 3300 meters in height, is a part of the Pyrenees mountains bordering Spain and France. This mountain range acts as a natural border between these two countries and is known for its unique and extensive plant and animal life.  

Monte Perdido is located in the Huesca province and is a part of the Aragon community of Spain. It has four major valleys: Pineta, Ordesa, Tella and Anisclo. In terms of height, Monte Perdido is the third tallest mountain in this mountain range. But considering its strategic location this mountain has emerged prominently in the tourist map of Spain. The small village of Andorra is located in this area.  

Monte Perdido is actually a huge mass of lime stone and is very rich in flora and fauna. Some of the areas of this mountain range remain impenetrable even to this day. This is the most beautiful mountain range of Europe. It is for this reason that the UNESCO has recognized Monte Perdido as a World Heritage Site. Recognizing its importance to the ecology of the region, the government of Spain has declared the entire Monte Perdido area a protected zone and has made the area a national park.

Interestingly there are an estimated 1500 species of flowers and about 171 species of birds inhabiting this particular mountain. There are also many species of reptiles as well as other species of animals. Mount Perdido has some of the rarest species of fauna and flora. It is certainly a feast for nature lovers and bird watchers. Impressive rock formations and vast areas of glaciers can be seen on the northeastern side of the mountain. It is the ideal place to enjoy mountain skiing and is normally open from January to May each year.

The total area of the national park is just about 21 square kilometers. However, in the interest of maintaining the biodiversity, the government of Spain has brought a total of 156 square kilometers into the biodiversity zone and has declared this entire area a national park.

This national park is well connected by road and tourists have been provided with all the amenities for a comfortable and most enjoyable tour.

Mountain Navigation – what is the best computerized solution?

So I know there are GPS systems with overlay maps. However on steep mountain slopes you can not always get all the satellites and with hairpin bend tracks it is often difficult to know which part of the track you may be on. I used to have a watch with an altitude based pressure sensor but if the weather changed I had no idea what my height was. I was wondering with the accelerometers and gyroscopes in the latest cellphones whether these could be used to help with navigation when scaling high mountain trails. Are there products that use these yet?
Sure reading maps is an essential skill but I am looking for an aid especially when thick clouds come down or when walking through dense trees. Maybe you walk in an area whether there are excellent detailed maps available, but unfortunately that is not the case for me.

The best soluution is NOT computerized.
LEARN TO READ MAPS, and take a topographical map with you for the area you are in.
