The Pyrenees is an impressive mountain range forming a natural border between Spain and France.
The Spanish Pyrenees stretch from the Atlantic Ocean in the West, across Spain’s northern border and ends just short of the Mediterranean coast in the East. It is among the best mountain ranges in Europe for hill walking.
Situated on the West side of the Pyrenees is the Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido (Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park), which offers some of the best walks. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Ordesa is famous for its 3,000m deep glacial valleys, overlooked by Monte Perdido, standing at 3,348m high.
The park contains a dozen or so other summits of over 3000m, mostly strung along the border.
There are hiking trails suitable for all levels. The challenging GR11 route also connects the Pyrenees range from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean. All the walks are well-marked. The trails take one through mountain summits, waterfalls, lakes, and caves or follow valleys and high mountain meadows.
The Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido is a protected region. It is one of the undisputed highlights of the Pyrenees. It covers an area of 156 square kilometres. In 1997, it was made a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its high-mountain landscape characterises it with a highly sharp relief formed by deep canyons and raised plateaus. The extreme aridity of the upper areas contrasts with green valleys with pastures and woods, where the rivers gush from the high altitudes, with spectacular waterfalls along their route through canyons and gorges to the nearby Bay Biscay.
The Benasque Valley, in the heart of the Pyrenees, is home to the most significant number of 3,000-meter-high peaks in the Pyrenees, distributed in three groups of peaks around the Maladetas, Posets and Perdiguero massifs.
In this Trekking through the Benasque Valley, we will enjoy the spectacular landscape richness of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park. This mountain group brings together the largest concentration of peaks over 3,000 meters in the entire Pyrenees. The Posets Maladeta Natural Park offers us an impressive set of 13 glaciers, 95 ibones (lakes of glacial origin) and waterfalls of great beauty. Deep valleys, high peaks, rivers, meadows, forests...
In addition, we will have the experience of spending a night at the Cap de Llauset Refuge, the highest year-round mountain refuge in the Pyrenees (2425m), surrounded by several 3000m peaks, including Aneto. It has been built modularly, with materials from the valley, making it more respectful of the environment.
Carros de Foc (CHARIOTS OF FIRE) is a high-mountain route with a circular itinerary, connecting the nine mountain refuges inside the boundaries of the Aigüestortes i Llac de Sant Maurici National Park.
We will walk in this granite kingdom for six days, with majestic peaks and many lakes. From the Atlantic forests of the Arán Valley in the surroundings of the Colomers refuge, the chaos of large rocks in Contraix to the crystal-clear waters of the lakes that we will border day by day.
Pyrenean valleys contrast between the northern and southern areas of the park due to their climatic influence. Beech forests, fir trees between granite blocks with crystal clear waters in the background, and postcard prints that we can enjoy for six days.
Chamois, roe deer, and marmots will observe us from the ground, as well as the griffon vulture, the golden eagle and the bearded vulture will easily see us long before we do.
This Trekking runs through the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park, circumambulating and reaching the summit of the most emblematic peak of the park, El Posets (3,375m).
The journey through spectacular lakes, incredible geomorphological formations such as glaciers, needles, “foraus”, glacial valleys and black pine forests will accompany us the entire way while we make stops at the Estós, Biadós, and Ángel Orús refuges.
