Puértolas walks

In the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, walk through the famous Anisclo Canyon, created by the Rio Bellos. The altitude difference shown is an overestimate - it's only 500m.

Hike through the Anisclo Canyon, ascending via the Faja de la Pardina and Col Arenas.

A superb hike done over two days with a bivouac at the Refugio de San Vicenda. It is possible to go as far as Fuenblanca for the bivouac. In the Añisclo Canyon, bivouacking is permitted from 1,650 metres. If you plan to sleep in your van the night before the hike, it is best to park 5-8 km before the canyon car park. The road to the car park is one-way, and crossing the canyon during the day must be magnificent.

A superb two-day hike with a bivouac at the Refugio de San Vicenda. It is possible to go as far as Fuenblanca for the bivouac. In the Añisclo Canyon, bivouacking is permitted from 1,650 m.

This hike, accessible to all, takes you to various viewpoints offering breathtaking views of the Escuain Gorge and Rio Yaga. Stop to see the Ermita de San Lorenzo, a rock covered with mysterious symbols and inscriptions. If you're lucky, you'll be able to spot the mythical bearded vulture and, more easily, vultures.

This walk starting from Laspuña takes you right up to the foot of the Peña Monatñesa and offers some views of the Cinca Valley, the Pyrenean peaks to the north-west and, of course, the Peña itself. Most of the route is in the welcome shade of the umbrella pines, with the notable exception of the end of the descent, which can be gruelling in full sun. In fine weather, make sure you carry enough water for the end of the walk. In wet weather, the descent is undoubtedly dangerous, as it is very slippery. Much of the route is marked with yellow and white signs. Starting from the Laspuña car park, walk round the school and the adjoining field, then take the path that climbs up to the left. The path follows the valley floor as it ascends.

Second day of this superb two-day trip with a bivouac at the Refugio de San Vicenda. It is possible to go as far as Fuenblanca for the bivouac. In the Añisclo Canyon, bivouacking is permitted from 1,650 metres. If you plan to sleep in your van the night before the hike, it is best to park 5-8 km before the canyon car park. The road to the car park is one-way, and crossing the canyon during the day must be magnificent (night crossing for the hike).

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

Short, easy hike in the heart of the Pineta Valley. Superb scenery.

Accessible and very pleasant hike to the Pineta cirque with a beautiful view of Mont Perdu.

A lovely walk following the waterfalls, with magnificent scenery. This walk takes in the Cinca Waterfall, the Larri Waterfall, the Salto de la Larri Waterfall and a high vantage point overlooking the mountains. There are also numerous viewpoints, including several overlooking the Larri Waterfall. Please take care at a dangerous section where you have to cross a stream. There is also a lovely picnic spot with views of the mountains, right by the water. Please stay on the paths and respect the mountain

A trip to the Cinca waterfalls, then back via the sheep pasture before descending. A shorter version involves a return trip to the sheep pasture.

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.

A walk that will allow you to discover a canyon featuring magnificent pools with a final surprise: the Confesionnario waterfall, also known as Conoelmundo. This can be done by walking up the canyon (wear shoes that can get wet) or by taking the path that runs along the top of the canyon. The best time to visit is May–June. From the car park, it’s a 10-minute walk and, after crossing the river, you reach the first pool. After 150 m along the path from the first pool, you reach the river again. You’ll come across two signposts about 20 m apart, which will guide you to the waterfall via the canyon or the path. You can complete a circular walk as shown on the .gpx file

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.

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.

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.
