Departure from Aragnouet (Hautes-Pyrénées)
The Port de Bielsa is reminiscent of a miniature version of the Brèche de Roland (in the Pyrenees). On the ridges of the Pic de Batalliance and all the way to the Col des Aiguillettes, the view of the valley and the Sierra Pelada is spectacular and the view along the ridges is splendid.Following the ridges requires a lot of experience in high mountains.Following the GPS track will prove essential. See Practical Information.I would classify this hike as very, very difficult

The first stage starts at the Hospice du Rioumajou. You are at the start of the summer pastures, one of the arrival points of the Ténarèze. This ancient path, first traced in prehistoric times and then developed by the Romans, linked the Adour and Garonne basins, avoiding fords and tolls. A major transhumance route, it allowed herds to move between the plains and the mountains, while serving as a commercial and cultural link between Gascony and Spain, notably via passes such as the Ourdissétou.

The second stage of the Ténarèze, at the bottom of the Aure valley, runs alongside the Neste river through fields. In places, the path widens, suggesting the trace of the old drovers' road, particularly near the Nourde footbridge. A peaceful route that passes through several small rural villages set on a plain ideal for resting herds before the climb to the summer pastures.

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.

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.
