Fuente de la Pubiya – Prados de Llosás

The walk starts from Fuente de la Pubiya, which is easily accessible by car and has a car park nearby. This walk allows you to reach your first peak at over 3,000 metres whilst enjoying magnificent high-mountain scenery, including glacial lakes, ridges and panoramic views of the Maladeta massif. However, the route remains challenging due to its length and elevation gain: it is advisable to be reasonably fit and to have experience of mountain walking before attempting it.

The first day of the Tour des Posets, which offers a gentle start with a steady climb to the Estos Mountain Hut. Initially through woodland, partly alongside the Rio Estos, the path follows the GR®11 route and takes you close to the Gorgues Galantes (waterfalls) before reaching thefirst mountain hut on this tour.

A very scenic circular route with varied landscapes, taking you round the Posets Massif within the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park. A 4-day route starting from the bottom of the Benasque Valley, with 3 nights in mountain huts (Estos / Viados / Angel Orus). The last two stages feature significant elevation gain and rocky sections, making them longer than the first two.

A very pleasant walk that goes as far as the Batisielles tarns and takes in a section of the path to the Estos mountain hut. The walk passes a small hut – the Santa Ana hut – which is very charming. You can make an initial stop at the Batisielles tarn, where you can take the path leading directly to the pass between the two tarns to avoid the following sections. You can also head to the second ibon, the Aigulla de Batisielles, but this adds an extra 100 metres of elevation gain. You can turn back and take a path to avoid the avalanche couloirs. There is also a very difficult and very long section through the middle of the avalanche couloirs and over rocky ground. The rest of the route through the avalanche couloirs continues to feature dangerous sections. To see the paths more clearly, switch the map to OSM Rando. Please stay on the paths and respect the mountain environment.

Park at the free car park in Estos. Follow the GR® as it climbs gradually, passing close to the Embiase and then the Ana hut. Then turn left towards the Batisielles ibonet. We choose to continue towards the upper lakes: a steep and demanding climb to the Gran de Batisielles ibon, followed by a gentler slope to the Aigüeta ibon. Lunch break by the lake after a short scrambling section. Return via the Ibon d’Escarpinosa: a more technical route with numerous scree slopes, where you must follow the cairns closely and remain vigilant, even in the forest. Once in Escarpinosa, we take a circular route to explore the two ibons, where a few locals are swimming in August. The descent alternates between steep slopes and more gentle trails before rejoining the GR®, the perfect way to round off this beautiful, long day.

A hike following the Remuné ravine, classified as ‘moderate’ by the Tourist Office, but we found the route to be more technical due to the numerous scree slopes and small streams, which made the rocks slippery. Some of the climbs are steep but over short distances; you climb whilst enjoying views of the various surrounding peaks and the sound of the waterfalls. The upper Ibons were almost dry, but the plateau then allows you to climb up to the Ibon de Remuné, which offers a little haven of tranquillity. A pleasant outing, though longer than expected.

A very beautiful hike. There is a tricky 10-metre section at the waterfall, but there is a safety line to help you. The outward journey is a little more difficult than the return journey, but it's worth it. And it's good to do it in this direction. The return route crosses fields.

A beautiful succession of landscapes including a plateau, a mountain refuge, a pass and a waterfall… Park in the car park accessible to tourists. Alternatively, there is a paid shuttle bus from Bénasque to La Besurta. Water is available at the La Besurta car park, at the refreshment bar and at the mountain refuge.
