THE ROUTE

DAY 1

Place of origin: Bujaruelo Refuge

From Bujaruelo hut to Góriz hut.

Arrival at the Bujaruelo Refuge, where we will welcome you, introduce ourselves and have an explanatory talk. At this meeting point we will give you the welcome pack, we will see the details of the route, the conditions of the mountain, and we will teach you how to use the geolocator safety device that you will have at your disposal during the whole itinerary. Here you will be able to solve your last minute doubts. And from here begins the fantastic adventure that will take us through some of the most spectacular landscapes of the Pyrenees. All this enlivened with a welcome snack.

DAY 2 / STAGE 1

La Brecha and the Ordesa Canyon

  • 15.9 Km
  • +1626m/-761m

From the Refugio de Bujaruelo to the Refugio de Góriz.

From Bujaruelo we cross the Roman bridge and ascend following the red and white marks that indicate the passage of the GR 11 to the Puerto de Bujaruelo. Here we follow the sign that leads us to the Rolando Gap Refuge. Once in the Brecha we descend towards the Collado del Descargador through the Paso de los Sarrios. Here we will find the first technical step of the route with chains that help us in its progression. There is an alternative path from the Brecha itself to avoid this pass. From the Collado del Descargador we will continue towards the plain to access the Refugio de Góriz.

DAY 3 / STAGE 2

Collado de Añisclo and Pineta Valley

  • 12.6 Km
  • +625m/-1583m

From the Góriz Refuge to the Pineta Refuge.

We leave Góriz following the GR 11 marks that go up little by little to the Collado Superior de Góriz. At this point we leave the GR 11 that descends to the Añisclo Canyon and take the milestones in a northeasterly direction that lead us through the Faja de las Olas to the Collado de Añisclo, where we also find an area of chains that help us in our progression. To avoid this technical step we can descend to the Fuen Blanca, and then ascend to the Collado de Añisclo. We carefully descend the long and demanding descent from the Collado de Añisclo to the Pineta Refuge.

DAY 4 / STAGE 3

The Monte Perdido Glacier

  • 17.2 Km
  • +1767m/-948m

From Pineta Refuge to Espuguettes Refuge.

From Pineta we follow the National Park signs to the Balcón de Pineta and Lago de Marboré. We continue bordering the lake on the right towards the Brecha and Refugio de Tucarroya. We climb to the gap and from here we descend a steeply sloping channel with many loose rocks that requires us to go down with caution. In case of snow, the difficulty increases and it is essential to use ice axes and crampons. There is also an alternative variant through the Puerto Nuevo de Pineta that avoids this technical step. Once we descend from the Brecha de Tucarroya we head towards the Horquette d'Alans by an uphill path. Descent to the Espuguettes Refuge where we will enjoy unbeatable views.

DAY 5 / STAGE 4

The Cirque de Gavarnie

  • 18 Km
  • +968m/-1626m

From the Espuguettes Hut to the Grange de Holle Hut.

Departure from the Espuguettes refuge towards Gavarnie. After a steep descent we will find a sign indicating the path to the Cirque de Gavarnie to the left. We walk along this beautiful forest path that will leave us very close to the base of the imposing Cirque. From the Hotellerie du Cirque walk towards Gavarnie on the main track to a bridge that connects with a path to the left that goes to the Cabanne de Pouey d'Aspé. We go up the valley of the same name towards the Cabanne de Soldats and the Port de Boucharo (Bujaruelo Pass). From the pass take the obvious way down to the refuge of Bujaruelo (red and white marks GR 11).

If you want to hike in the Pyrenees and want to make sure you have all the logistics covered and a guaranteed viable route, don’t hesitate to book with La Alta Ruta. The peace of mind that comes with having everything arranged and the trip supported is easily worth the modest premium charged. The organization and service we received from start to finish were excellent. When we arrived to begin the 8-day trip, the manager advised us to reverse the direction due to unseasonably heavy rains the week before, which had temporarily blocked one of the routes. This support alone—calling and rebooking all the accommodations—was a huge help. It would have been a massive headache for us to handle at the last minute, considering that each mountain hut has to be contacted directly by phone or email. The route itself was amazing, too. The ecology and scenery were truly diverse. Additionally, the GPX files provided were invaluable in some instances where trails were less well marked, and it was great to know we had that backup when we weren’t entirely confident in our map-reading skills. And one final point to note: nearly every leg of the journey had “Plan B” options, in case the weather wasn’t ideal or you wanted a less challenging route. We used one of these backup routes on a very rainy day, and it saved us from a tough traverse in wet conditions with low visibility. All in all, a fantastic trip, made even better by the fantastic service. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

A SPECTACULAR trail! Tough and challenging, but doable. We were a family with kids ages 11 and 14, and we were able to complete the entire trail without any problems. Our daily hikes took longer than expected for the “general” public, but we were prepared for that. It’s essential to familiarize yourself with the trail and its difficulty before setting out! 100% recommended!

This was my first solo trip to the mountains. I decided to go with them because it made me feel very safe knowing I was being tracked at all times via the GPS tracker. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’ll definitely do it again. I’ve opened a door to the mountains, and I’m never going to close it. Thank you 😊

Vignemales Tour. We did the tour in early August 2024. Beautiful landscapes—we enjoyed the stunning mountain scenery and the beautiful locations of the mountain huts. Alta Ruta’s organization was excellent. We met Rafa, a team member, the day before we started, and he was very informative and professional. He gave us useful tips for completing the route. We really appreciate that the team provided us with a satellite messenger for our safety. Thank you for your help. Paolo from Italy
