This itinerary in particular has some of the best views of the Ordesa Valley since it allows us to discover it from a high altitude, passing through the most emblematic sites of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, such as the Pradera de Ordesa, the bridges and waterfalls that dot all along the Arazas river, the Cotatuero Cirque, the panoramic Calcilarruego Viewpoint, the practically aerial Faja Pelay, the Cola de Caballo waterfall and the Soaso Tiers.

This is a beautiful and easy excursion, suitable for families with children, which takes your feet through the Valley and "Estanys de Gerber" (lakes), left behind from glaciers. The route starts from the car park of "La Peülla", passes by the "Estanyola de Gerber" (deep blue waters where the surrounding peaks are mirrored), continues by the Gerber ravine where we find the "Estany Petit" just before reaching the ample Gerber Lake (surrounded by various peaks greater than 2,500m).

La Pica d'Estats is the highest peak in Catalonia. At an altitude of 3,143 m, together with its neighbors, Pic Verdaguer and Punta Gabarró, all rise imposingly in front of the Estats and Sotllo lakes. This is the time-tested route that starts from La Molinassa car park, passes through the “Vall Ferrera” (Ferrera Valley), where the Vallferrera refuge is. From there, it goes on to the Sotllo ravine until that path takes you to the Estats and Sotllo lakes where most people stay for the night.

The route starts from el Corral de las Mulas, passes through the Anayet Formigal ski resort, and reaches the Ibones de Anayet, a group of small lakes as the remnants of glaciers. From there, with a more exposed step (secured with fixed chains), and with a climb up a couloir, we can climb the Pico de Anayet (2,545m), which in fact is actually the remains of an ancient volcano that collapsed, only leaving behind its chimney.

The summit of the Carlit is one of the most emblematic peaks in the Pyrenees. The great beauty of its surroundings, the 12 lakes that encompass it and the final climb make it a very special mountaintop for nature lovers. This is the classic route that starts from Les Bouillouses lake, follows the GR10 passing by some lakes, goes up the Grava Valley, continues along the scree to the “Estany Gelat” (Frozen lake) and with an easy climb reaches the roof (2,921m), which offers spectacular views.

Although the route begins with a steep climb from Fontalba to the top of Puigmal (2,913m), the terrain is not very technical, so the only requirement to enjoy these spectacular panoramic views from the main mountain ranges and surrounding valleys is to be in good physical shape. The itinerary continues descending towards the Núria Valley, famous for its Sanctuary and the Rack Railway which connects the valley to the nearby villages of Queralbs and Ribes de Freser.

This spectacular loop trail around the Ulldeter Valley Cirque, starts from the Vallter 2000 ski resort and regales the hiker with three peaks: Pic de la Dona (2,702m), Pic de Prat de Bacivers (2,845m) and Pic de Bastiments (2,881m). It is one of these long-established routes which you would never get tired of, for the privileged views of the peaks of Vall de Núria, the French Pyrenees and the Pre-Pyrenees, and for the great panorama of Catalonia, even bestowing views to the sea coast.

The Pic d'Anie or Auñamendi (2,504m), is very significant for its pyramidal shape and for being the first Pyrenean mountain to exceed 2,500m moving eastward from the Atlantic Ocean. Despite being entirely on French territory, it is the sacred mountain of the Basque people, because according to their mythology, there lives the goddess Mari or Yanagorri, female representation of Mother Earth and natural forces.
