Alta Ruta de los Perdidos

Your journey begins at the welcoming Bujaruelo Refuge, a starting point for an unforgettable trek through the Pyrenees' breathtaking landscapes. Enjoy a good night's sleep before you set out on this magnificent adventure at your own pace, surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery the Pyrenees have to offer.

On your first hiking day, you'll begin by crossing the historic Roman bridge. As you ascend, keep an eye out for the red and white markings of the GR11 trail leading you toward Puerto de Bujaruelo. From there, follow the signs to the Brecha de Rolando Refuge. At the Brecha, you'll navigate through rocky terrain to begin your descent on a well-marked trail dotted with cairns, guiding you to the Planas de Narciso. Your path then leads to the Millares pass, continuing effortlessly across the flat expanses to the welcoming refuge of Góriz.

You'll depart from Góriz, tracing the GR11 trail as it gently ascends to the Upper Góriz Pass. Here, diverging from the GR11, you'll follow the northeast markers leading along the Faja de las Olas towards the Añisclo Pass. This section includes a series of chains to assist in your progress. For those preferring to avoid this more technical part, an alternative route is available via the descent to Fuen Blanca, followed by an ascent to the Añisclo Pass. The day concludes with a careful descent from the Añisclo Pass, a challenging but rewarding journey to the serene refuge of Pineta.

The day starts by following the trails marked by the National Park towards the breathtaking Balcón de Pineta and Marboré Lake. Skirting around the lake to the right, you'll head towards the Tucarroya Breach and Refuge. The ascent to the breach is an invigorating climb, followed by a descent through a steep, rocky chute requiring cautious navigation. There's an alternative path via the Nuevo de Pineta Pass for those seeking a less technical route. After descending from the Tucarroya Breach, the trail ascends again towards Horquette d'Alans before descending to the Espuguettes Refuge.

Departing from the Espuguettes Refuge, your journey leads towards Gavarnie. Along the way, you can make a slight detour to the base of the majestic Cirque de Gavarnie. In Gavarnie, the route to the Grange de Holle refuge presents a slight challenge in navigation. This lesser-known trail will guide you to your destination at the Grange de Holle Refuge.

Leaving the Grange de Holle Refuge might initially seem a bit unclear, so it's wise to follow your GPS device thoroughly. Your route takes you through a forest trail leading to the Valle d'Ossoue. Along this path, you'll pass the charming Cabaña de Lourdes and cross the Barrage d'Ossoue. From there, you'll embark on an ascent towards the Bayssellance Refuge. The journey continues as you follow the trail that climbs to the Horquette d'Ossoue, offering an engaging mix of uphill and downhill hiking. Your day culminates with a descent to the Oulèttes Refuge.

From the Oulèttes Refuge, your trail leads towards the Collado de los Mulos, where you'll embark on a descent and then steer towards the Valle del Ara. This section of your journey involves a long, gentle downhill path, offering a relaxing pace compared to previous days' hikes. As you meander through this serene stretch, the trail eventually brings you full circle back to the Roman Bridge at Bujaruelo and the refuge.

On your final day, after spending a restful night at the Bujaruelo Refuge, a pre-arranged transfer will be ready to escort you from the refuge. The transfer will conveniently take you to Torla, a picturesque village that serves as a gateway to the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. In Torla, you'll have the opportunity to catch your public transportation.
