The Soaso Waterfalls
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.

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.
