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).
