CONQUER YOUR EIGHT-THOUSANDER

THE ROUTE

DAY 1

Place of origin: Conangles Refuge

Arrival at the Conangles 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 security geolocator 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 you through some of the most spectacular landscapes of the Pyrenees. All this enlivened with a welcome drink and local gastronomic products.

DAY 2 / STAGE 1

Conangles Refuge- Ventosa i Calvell Refuge

  • 13.68 Km
  • +1900m/-1285m

In the first stage, from the Conangles refuge, still in the Aran Valley, we will immediately enter the Alta Ribagorça region to go all the way up the Besiberri Valley. 



During the ascent, we will enjoy the different lakes and the impressive glacial cirque crowned by the well-known ridge of the Besiberris. Through a slightly decomposed chimney we will gain the col d'Abellers from which we will have the Besiberri S already very close. 



From the top we descend a few meters towards the Comoloforno to find the gap that will give us access to the Cavallers slope. From here we have a very long, technical and entertaining descent to the Rio Malo plateau. At this point, to finish the stage, we will take the usual path to access the Ventosa i Calvell refuge.

DAY 3 / STAGE 2

Ventosa i Calvell Refuge- Restanca Refuge

  • 5.20 Km
  • +415m/-606m

This second stage is relatively less demanding in terms of distance and elevation gain. We will leave the Ventosa hut in the direction of the Tumeneia Ponds, bordering them to the east and take the path that ascends to the Tumenia pass. The descent to the Restanca refuge is easy from the pass.

Variant Peyta-Besiberri Gap N

From the Ventosa hut skirt the Tumeneia Lakes to the south and continue towards the Collet des Isards to reach Brecha Peyta. It is a difficult navigation route. You must be very attentive not to miss the milestones.
If we are prepared, experienced and have the right equipment, before Brecha Peyta we can temporarily detour to reach the Besiberri Nord. For this stage we can hire a mountain guide (check availability and prices with the organization).



From the vicinity of Brecha Peyta, depending on the weather, conditions and abilities of the group, it is possible to complete the ascent to Besiberri N (PD+, III obligatory, recommended rappel), and return to Brecha Peyta to continue the stage. 



From Ventosa Refuge to Restanca Refuge
Distance: 5,20 km. Elevation gain: +415 -606.

From Refugio Ventosa to Refugio Restanca with the Besiberri N summit.
Distance: 11,80 km. Elevation gain: +1110 -1185.

DAY 4 / STAGE 3

Restanca Refuge- Conangles Refuge

  • 16.9 Km
  • +1040m/-1545m

The third stage is the longest but has a contained slope and passes through better terrain for walking, after the previous stages through much more uneven and pre-draggy terrain. 



We leave the Restanca Refuge to go up the Val de Rius to the Rius Lake. Here we leave the mythical GR-11 to gain the gentle Coret del Redon where we discover magnificent views over the Redon Lake and the Tuc deth Pòrt de Vielha, with the spectacular backdrop of the Molières or Mulleres, the Aneto and the Maladetas. 



After topping the aforementioned Tuc deth Pòrt de Vielha, we will descend to the historic pass of Pòrt de Vielha and continue the descent to the south again towards Conangles, starting point and end of route.

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
