Other walks in the area
Cap de Llauset mountain refuge – Plan d’Abaixo
The route starts at the Cap de Llauset mountain hut and ends at Plan d’Abaixo. This stage takes you over the Col d’Ixalenques, which rises to an altitude of 2,812 metres. You’ll enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding peaks before beginning a long descent to Plan d’Abaixò, in the heart of a wild and unspoilt landscape.
Circular route around the lakes and mountain huts starting from the Embalse de Llauset
One of the most beautiful hikes in the area, featuring a lovely, technical circular route that can be challenging at times due to steep gradients. It’s best to follow the suggested route. There are numerous mountain lakes to explore, magnificent landscapes offering varied views of the surrounding mountain ranges, and a brand-new mountain refuge (where you can enjoy a meal or stop for a picnic).
Fuente de la Pubiya – Prados de Llosás
Starting from Fuente de la Pubiya and ending at Prados de Llosás. The first day covers around 10 km with a climb of nearly 1,000 m. A lovely, gradual climb through the heart of the valley, with superb scenery and a finish in a magnificent setting.
Tour of Aneto
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 three waterfalls towards Cerier
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.
La Besurta: mountain hut, mountain lake and map
This is a hike in Besurta that passes by the La Renclusa mountain refuge, the Ibon de Paderna and the Plan d’Aiguallut.
It’s a very beautiful walk with lovely mountains, waterfalls and viewpoints. It’s a really enjoyable walk and accessible for young children when properly supervised, but you’ll need to allow much more time than indicated. This route takes you past waterfalls and viewpoints. There’s also a door carved into the rock. The time given for the walk is without breaks. Please stay on the paths and respect the mountain environment.
Besurta, Renclusa and Aigüalluts
A short hike starting from Besurta after taking the park bus from L’Hospital. This is followed by an ascent to the refuge, including a circular route to the ibon that very few hikers take. You then need to head back down to the refuge before setting off towards the pass via a steep climb of about 20 minutes. Descend towards Le Plan, enjoying numerous views along the way. Once at Le Plan, head for the waterfall at the back of the cirque for a relaxing break amidst the stunning scenery. Return via Le Plan, where you’re likely to come across far more people. The descent back to the Besurta car park is fairly quick. There’s a very pretty waterfall on the way out of Le Plan.
Estos car park – Estos mountain hut
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.
