The University's Mountain Club will have the participation of experts from the Science Museum during two of their outings this year.

Through a collaboration agreement between the Museum and the Mountain Club, specialists from the Museum will contribute their knowledge in different areas such as zoology, botany or geology, among others.

The first excursion will take place next Saturday 24 and will consist of a crossing between the Linza refuge and the Rincón de Belagua. The departure will be at 8 a.m. from the Comedores parking lot or from the intersection of Avenida Sancho el Fuerte with Avenida Pío XII, where it is expected to return at 20h.

The coordinator of the Mountain Club, Sergio Recalde, explains what this first outing consists of:

"We will walk through the Pyrenean mountains that separate Navarra and Aragón and, specifically, we will climb La Paquiza de Linzola, a peak that offers excellent views of the western Pyrenees. This excursion will go around the Aztaparreta Integral Reserve, which is home to one of the best preserved beech and fir forests in the Pyrenees, with a high diversity of flora and fauna. We will also enter the Larra Nature Reserve, home to one of the most extensive karst formations in Europe. Its limestone rocks dotted with black pines are of incomparable beauty".

Those who wish to attend this activity can register through this form. The cost of the activity is 17 euros, for undergraduate students (with School Insurance or federated 2018); 20 euros for employees, family members, Alumni and Senior Program and 25 euros for Friends of the University. This fee includes transportation, insurance and guides.
