All hiking routes

Ordesa rewards a slow reveal: woodland beside the Arazas gives way to cascades, then the valley opens into the meadows of Soaso and the Cola de Caballo waterfall.

Sant Maurici introduces the high mountains through water and the striking outline of Els Encantats.

The western side of Aigüestortes combines quiet water with a gradual opening of mountain views.

The Anayet lakes save their main surprise for the moment the climb opens onto a broad plateau.

Irati reveals a different Pyrenean landscape, with the forest taking the role usually played by summits.

Gaube compresses the transition from woodland to open mountain scenery into a relatively short outing.

Néouvielle is a strong choice for a day among lakes, granite slabs and mountain pines.

Bouillouses lets you plan a lake-focused day without making the Carlit summit compulsory.

Oô has a clear visual story: a woodland climb ends with water and a tall waterfall across the lake.

Tristaina is a useful introduction to Andorra’s lakes: three bodies of water sit at different levels inside an open mountain bowl.

Juclar rewards the transition from the welcoming Incles valley into a more mineral lake basin.

Madriu is appealing because its mountain scenery can be read alongside traces of the valley’s earlier life.
