Climate in Aragon: The Aragonese climate is continental high mountain, with very specific windows for safe running. June to September is the golden season, when snow recedes and passes open. July and August are peak months, with mild temperatures at altitude but risk of evening storms requiring dawn starts. September is magical: fewer people, autumn colors, and stable conditions. The rest of the year, snow and ice dominate the three-thousanders, turning trail into winter mountaineering requiring technical gear. Spring is unpredictable: it can snow heavily through May.

Tips for running in Aragon in april
Always carry a lightweight waterproof windbreaker in your pack: spring storms arrive without warning.
April is a transition month: you may need short sleeves in the valley and long sleeves at the summit in the same race.
Springs and streams usually carry water in April: even so, do not drink from natural sources without filtering.
