Which route to choose first

For a first taste of the valley, Llanos del Hospital and Aigualluts are two rewarding choices: open scenery, high mountain atmosphere and a clear sense of the Benasque Pyrenees.

Lakes, valleys and waterfalls

For a more mountainous day, Estos Valley links naturally with Batisielles and Escarpinosa. For a shorter outing with forest and water, Gorgas de Alba works well as a half-day plan.

Family routes and flexible plans

With children or mixed groups, choose by real energy, weather and walking mood. Llanos del Hospital, Gorgas de Alba and shorter Aigualluts options often fit better than a long lake route.
