The crossing of the Campon stream marks the entrance to the beautiful Lecherines Bajo sheepfold or Plano de la Balsa, a highland plain of pastures surrounded by a magnificent crown of limestone ridges and stone towers. The sheepfold is splendid in a grandiose cirque of glacial origin; before arriving at it, it does not seem that a plateau of such proportions could exist at the foot of the peaks. And it is very welcoming, in the centre there is a shelter and nearby is the cattle watering trough. In winter there are no flocks, everything is covered in snow, there are bushes scattered between the white hills and frozen corridors cutting the snow ramps to the edge of the mountains. In one of the channels, near the Peña Blanca pass, is the Lecherines ice cave, a grotto to visit in spring, when the combination of cold and thawing creates sculptures and ice columns inside the cavity. The route ends at the porch of the Lecherines Bajo Shelter enjoying the warm rays of the midday sun. The GR-11.1 trail continues straight ahead and climbs towards Lecherines Alto and the López Huici Military Refuge, near the Magdalena pass.

The Gave d'Aspe has its source at an altitude of 2,000 meters in the Sierra de Aisa in Spain. It naturally gave its name to the valley in which it flows for more than 50 kilometers before joining the Gave d'Ossau.

Its name most likely comes from the Basque "bizar", which means 'beards' and the root "auri" which means "yellow or golden", becoming the mount of golden beards.

The Valle de los Sarrios is a perfectly drawn glacial valley below the steep Cirque de l'Ibón. It is comfortable to walk and visually imposing. Legend has it that a shepherd often frequented the valley and that wild chamois ended up joining his flock. The shepherd passed away, but they say that it is usual to find chamois next to some stones where the shepherd used to sit down to rest, right in the middle of the valley.

A refreshing place in the middle of the road. If it has water, one can bathe in the pool that forms at its feet. You are not afraid of cold water though.
