After a good breakfast, it's time for the first day of hiking, starting directly from your accommodation.
This route starts from the village of Barbaruens. The surrounding nature is dense, rugged and spectacular. Narrow ravines, deep gorges and rugged mountain slopes form the backdrop to this hike.
The hike starts with a short descent to the Barbaruens canyon, after which you climb up along a nice path to the Virgen de la Peñan chapel. This is the highest point of the route, and the panoramic views of the Cotiella massif, the Sierra de Chía and the Circo de Armeña are magnificent. From the chapel you descend via a different route through the Circo de Armeña back to Barbaruens.
The hike from Llanos de Hospital to the Aigualluts waterfall is an absolute must during this hiking holidays.
The landscape of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park is nothing short of enchanting: you'll traverse to the 'end' of the valley amidst the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, catching glimpses of the last remnants of glaciers.
Your journey begins at the Llanos de Hospital parking, where a mountain trail leads you to the mountain lakes of Villamuerta. From there, the path continues to the Forau de Aigualluts. Here, the meltwater from the Aneto glacier cascades down the Aigualluts waterfall, into a hole that's 70 meters wide and 40 meters deep, disappearing into an underground river.
You can prolong your trek by hiking back to the starting point via the Renclusa hut.
In the standard package, this is your departure day. You have the option to extend your 'Hiking Pyrenees holidays' by one or more days according to your preference.
