About Senderos del Somontano

Senderos del Somontano is a mapped hiking route in Aragon, Spain. The mapped distance is 46.9 km (29.1 mi), with 749 m (2,457 ft) of recorded ascent, with 749 m (2,457 ft) of recorded descent.

Hiking Trail Directory rates this route expert 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 mountain and waymarked route, membership of the rwn network and a waymark record with the symbol “yellow:white:yellow_lower:71: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 october to may. This is planning metadata, not a live statement about snow, closures or trail condition. Huesca is the nearest linked city in the directory, approximately 35.7 km away in a straight line.

The map is derived from OpenStreetMap and contains 151 geometry points. Elevation values were sampled from terrarium-z11. The traceable source record is 4165897. 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 46.9 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 16 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 749 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.

Climbing and descending by section

Use these equal-distance sections to see how climbing and descending are distributed along the stored elevation profile. Distances follow the profile’s recorded direction; walking in reverse swaps ascent and descent and reverses the section order.

Sampled ascent and descent in each third of the elevation profile
Section	Profile distance	Ascent	Descent
First third	0.00–15.01 km	338 m	260 m
Middle third	15.01–30.01 km	176 m	352 m
Final third	30.01–45.02 km	253 m	155 m

How these numbers are calculated

We split the stored profile into three equal distances and interpolate elevation at each boundary. Rising samples count towards ascent; falling samples towards descent. Totals can differ from the headline figures, which may use different smoothing or rounding. Sparse samples, gaps in the source route and elevation-model errors limit accuracy. These are calculations, not surveyed sections, directions or terrain assessments.

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.

703 min for distance + 75 min for ascent + 30 min allowance.

This is an aggregate calculation for a long outing. It does not plan overnight stages, accommodation or recovery.

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.

Recorded route measurements

The mapped line is a loop and returns to its starting area. The mapped distance is 46.9 km (29.1 mi), with 749 m (2,457 ft) of recorded ascent, with 749 m (2,457 ft) of recorded descent. The sampled elevation profile records a maximum grade of about 19%; this is a calculated value and may smooth short, steeper sections. The profile reaches 683 m (2,241 ft) from a recorded low of 395 m (1,296 ft).

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 days 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.

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
Head torch and an extra warm layer for a longer outing
Trekking poles if you normally use them on sustained ascent and descent

Photography
