Muy buena ruta. Exigente tanto por la distancia y el desnivel como por el frío que nos acompañó durante bastante parte de la jornada. La recompensa, sin embargo, fue enorme: unas vistas espectaculares y esa sensación única de estar solos, nosotros y la montaña. Todo perfectamente planificado por Bruno.

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.
