About Fuente del Canto

Fuente del Canto is a mapped hiking route in Aragon, Spain. The mapped distance is 9.8 km (6.1 mi), with 252 m (827 ft) of recorded ascent, with 394 m (1,293 ft) of recorded descent. Its recorded high point is 1,733 m (5,686 ft) and its low point is 1,575 m (5,167 ft). The displayed moving time of 2 hr 25 min is a planning estimate based on distance and ascent, before breaks.

Hiking Trail Directory rates this route moderate from the available distance and elevation measurements. That rating is useful for comparing routes in the directory, but it does not establish technical terrain, exposure, path condition or the skills required on the day. The mapped line is a loop and returns to its starting area.

The source data records route tags for waymarked route, membership of the rwn network and a waymark record with the symbol “yellow:white:yellow_lower:130:black”. These attributes describe the route record as a whole; they do not prove that every section has the same surface, signage or feature.

The directory season field highlights june to october. This is planning metadata, not a live statement about snow, closures or trail condition.

The map is derived from OpenStreetMap and contains 69 geometry points. Elevation values were sampled from terrarium-z11. The traceable source record is 8213474. Open-data records can lag behind reroutes and closures, so compare the source, official notices and the forecast before travelling.

Plan around this route’s details

Start, finish and return
This route is recorded as a 9.8 km loop. Confirm a permitted access point and include the approach from parking or public transport in your plan.
Climbing in context
The recorded ascent averages approximately 26 m of climbing per kilometre across the whole route. This is climbing density, not trail gradient: climbs and flatter sections may be unevenly distributed. Recorded descent totals 394 m and also needs time in your plan.
What needs a separate check
This record does not establish surface, dog access, wheelchair access. Check any of these that affect your group. Current closures, access arrangements and transport are not verified by the route line.

Your walking-time scenario

Adjust the example pace and allowances to explore your own plan. This calculator uses your inputs, so it may differ from the directory’s headline estimate.

Calculated walking time including your allowances

3 hr 23 min

147 min for distance + 25 min for ascent + 30 min allowance.

Formula: distance ÷ pace × 60 + ascent ÷ 100 × climbing allowance + stops. Travel to and from the route is additional. Terrain, descent, weather and navigation are not modelled. These results do not establish route suitability. Read the time-planning guide.

Tips from the trail

  • Open the linked source record before departure to check whether the mapped relation has changed.
  • Save the route line offline; a map download is useful regardless of expected phone coverage.
  • Use 2 hr 25 min as estimated moving time, then add your own allowance for stops, conditions and daylight.
  • Confirm the exact trailhead and permitted parking or public-transport options locally.
  • Carry enough food and water for the full route; water availability is not established by the map data.
  • Follow local access rules and leave no litter or food waste behind.

Warnings

  • This guide does not contain live information about closures, hazards, snow, flooding or path condition.
  • The route reaches a recorded elevation of 1,733 m (5,686 ft); obtain a location-specific mountain forecast and check seasonal access.

Safety

Emergency services in Spain can be reached on 112. Share your route and expected return time with someone before leaving. The directory has no verified coverage map or live trail-status feed, so do not rely on phone reception or this page alone. Turn around when conditions, access or your remaining time no longer match the plan.

What to bring

  • Footwear suited to the current surface and conditions
  • Weather layers appropriate to the local forecast
  • Offline route map and a backup navigation method
  • Food and water for the planned time plus a reserve
  • Charged phone and a small first-aid kit

Photography
