The Estós Valley is not only one of the most beautiful valleys in the entire Posets-Maladeta Massif, but also one of those with the highest density of three-thousand-meter peaks. The wild Rio Estós with its green meadows is framed on both sides by the impressive rugged peaks, creating an exciting contrast. The path is technically not very demanding, but due to its length, it is not suitable for small children.

The Gateway to France and a Prime Viewing Point of the Maladeta Range The narrow saddle in the rugged border mountains is not only the classic crossing between Benasque and the Hospice de France. Thanks to its location, it is also a first-class vantage point overlooking the entire Maladeta massif, where, of course, the highest peak in the Pyrenees—the Pico de Aneto—captures the eye.

    A beautiful hike. Gorgeous forest, spectacular waterfalls, interesting paths. Pity that the botanical explanations are only in Spanish. I would give it 5* if it wasn't so short.

    A wonderful hike with fantastic views and interesting terrain. You can lengthen the hike liked those one: https://www.outdooractive.com/en/r/245804639?utm_source=unknown&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=user-shared-social-content You can also cut out the first (less interesting) 15 minutes by parking where the path meets the road.

    Less people do this route than most other spectacular routes in the area, probably because it doesn't get to a refugi. So you will find solitude here, amazing views, nice tarns and lakes, some eagles and marmottes.

    A fantastic hike, for experienced hikers only!! Because the hike is very steep and mostly unmarked. You need to follow the stone-cairns, but often they are undistinguishable from the rest of the stones. But if you are sure footed and happy to scramble, this hike offers a nice challenge and fantastic views. It can be done as a day hike from the Bestura carpark.

    A beautiful hike, not too hard, and well marked. Good chance to see marmots in summer. We did this route in early May, when most of the track was covered by snow, and it was very pleasant. We did it again in late June; no snow this time, and still a beautiful walk, nice views, marmots, waterfalls, a friendly refugi.

    A beautiful short hike that takes you to a fantastic spot where 3 waterfalls fall from 3 different directions.

    Wir sind dann doch ein bisschen anders gelaufen: Von Hendaye bis ins Herz der Pyrenäen nach Bagneres de Luchon. Es war eine herrliche Tour - dieses Jahr geht es wieder in die Richtung!
