Route from Sallent de Gállego via: 
- Tosquera (2.4 km) 
- Collado de la Tosquera (2.8 km) 
- Peña Returno (3.2 km) 
- Collado Pacino (4.2 km) 
 
Circular walk. 
Although the route can be started on foot from Sallent, you can drive up to the start of the Pacino track. From there, continue until you take a turn-off to the left and head onto the path leading up to Pico Pacino. 
 
Just before entering the woodland section, we turn off to the right. We gradually climb along a lovely path through the Pacino beech forest. 
 
Once we emerge from the woodland, we reach the Collado de la Tosquera. From here, we turn right to climb to Punta Tosquera, where we can enjoy spectacular views towards Sallent, Formigal and the Portalet Pass in front of us, and towards the Sierra de la Partacua behind us. 
 
We return to the Collado de la Tosquera and take the path towards the Collado del Pacino, which we reach by walking on virtually level ground along the back of the mountain. 
 
Once we reach the pass, you can choose between climbing to Pico Pacino (approximately 20 minutes) or beginning the descent towards the chimney. From here, we rejoin the forest track and finish the route by returning to the car park.
