Broto walks

Superb loop to the abandoned village of Yosa, along the GR®-15. The return via the ridge offers sumptuous views of the surrounding area, particularly the Pyrenean peaks of Monte Perdido and its sisters.

A magnificent hike along the edge of the Ordesa Canyon: extraordinary views of the canyon.

An exceptional hike in the Ordesa Mont Perdu Natural Park. You must take the shuttle bus from Torla at the large car park at the entrance to the village.Please note: the elevation gain for this hike is incorrect. It should be 750m of elevation gain and loss, not 1758m as stated in the paragraph below.

On the right bank of the Rio Arazas, the Faja Racon trail is very similar to that on the left bank, the Faja de Pelay.

Round trip to the Soaso waterfalls. A lovely walk following the trail to the Soaso waterfalls. This is the Faja de Pelay walk, but it doesn’t go via the top as that section is quite dangerous. There are four waterfalls, as well as a shelter in the middle of the plain. For children, it’s possible to walk as far as the waterfalls and stop there before turning back. This can be brilliant for little ones who already enjoy walking. Please stay on the paths and respect the mountain.

A very beautiful round-trip walk with a spectacular view of the lake at the end. The slope is sometimes very steep and there are plenty of stones on the path, particularly at the lower and upper sections. In between, there’s a short stretch through alpine pastures where cows graze freely. You’re accompanied all the way by streams fed by melting glaciers, and the scenery is magnificent.

Second day of the trek between the Mont Perdu massif and the ledges overlooking the Ordesa Canyon: Faja Luenga, Faja de las Flores, Faja Tardiador and Faja Escuzana, with a passage via Pico Mondarruego. This hike leaves the mineral landscape of the high mountains for a succession of vertiginous ledges and grassy sections between the peaks. A long route offering thrilling experiences on the ledges and spectacular views of the mountains around Ordesa. Not recommended for those who suffer from vertigo.

This hike will take you around the Taillon and the Gabiétous, passing through the legendary Brèche de Roland and the Escuzana ledge. Good weather will allow you to admire the Cirque de Gavarnie, as well as the 3,000-metre peaks of Ordesa National Park, such as Mont Perdu. Please take careful note of the practical information and read the route description before setting out on the full circular route.

Hike above the Cirque de Gavarnie to visit a mountain pass made famous by its name.

A border ridge walk with magnificent views down over the blue lakes of Les Espécières and Lapazosa, leading to a summit offering a panoramic view of the stunning high peaks.

A border route featuring two lovely lakes and the ascent of a peak offering a breathtaking panoramic view.

Want to climb one of the legendary "3000" peaks of the Cirque de Gavarnie with breathtaking views? The Casque du Marboré could be your next goal! The entire route offers magnificent views of the surrounding mountains: Vignemale, Néouvielle, Mont Perdu, Canyon d'Ordesa. However, it is important to bear in mind that part of this hike takes place in a high mountain environment, with sometimes unstable scree and passages where you will need to use your hands.

Landscapes “rich in nature” on this hike in the area of Gavarnie, accompany your steps towards the peak of Taillon, through the legendary Roland breach. Taillon, a summit that at the top of its 3144 m, offers a stunning panorama and striking views as far as the eye can see.

The ridge bordering the Cirque de Gavarnie and its immediate surroundings feature several legendary ‘3,000-metre’ peaks. This route to the west of the Cirque allows you to tackle four of them in a single day whilst following a stunning ridge! The ascent to the Taillon via the south-western ridge of the Gabiétous – a climb requiring no equipment other than your hands – is fun, exposed but without any major difficulty. It remains at a PD (slightly difficult) level, making it accessible to many experienced mountaineers. The entire hike takes place in the high mountains in a marvellous setting, on both the French and Spanish sides, and is sure to leave you with memories to last a lifetime! Please note, August 2026: read the important information in the ‘Practical Information’ section!

There’s no need to describe the Cirque de Gavarnie, this ‘colosseum’ of stone, snow and water cascading in countless waterfalls… But let’s describe here the hike across its peaks, all those legendary summits over 3,000 metres high overlooking the cirque on the French side and the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park on the Spanish side. It is a demanding route, at times somewhat technical and quite long (though it can be shortened by skipping a few peaks or by spending the night before or the night of the return journey at the Refuge des Sarradets). This hike can, however, be completed in a single day, which makes it all the more exceptional!

First day of the trek to Mont Perdu. Departure from Col de Tentes, passage through Brèche de Roland, at the foot of Pic du Marboré, and ascent of Mont Perdu. The first day is the most technical. You quickly reach the high mountain ranges of the Gavarnie massif.

This is an easy, short hike starting from the Col des Tentes in Gavarnie, offering views of Spain, the Plana de Sandaruelo, the peaks of the Spanish foothills, and the border ridge as far as Vignemale, climbing to the summit of a peak at almost 2,500 m, the Pic entre les Ports (the Port de Boucharo and the Port des Espécières). The return via the Col des Espécières and the lake of the same name offers views over the Vallée des Espécières and the ski resort. Please note: Pic Entre les Ports has a bivouac area sheltered by low walls and may be a good option for those who want to set off early the next morning for Brèche de Roland, Taillon or the Spanish ledges, and who want to sleep there the night before, as camping outside, in tents or cars, is strictly prohibited (and often fined) at the Col de Tentes.
