A legendary mountain pass in the Pyrenees. A crossing point between the Chistau and Benasque valleys, linking Sobrarbe and Ribagorza at an altitude of 2000m.

Access is via forest tracks in good condition. Obviously, to reach 2000m it takes a little time but the reward is worth it: the views are magnificent over the valleys and peaks at 360 degrees. A delight !

4x4 track in very good condition. The climb is long and fairly regular. The views change as you progress and motivate you to continue to the pass which offers a magnificent spectacle.

Eresué is a town that has the charm of tiny mountain villages, with only 25 neighbors, and that enjoys a privileged location on the right bank of the Ésera. The access route is through the Camino del Solano, which is a small paved road, with surprising and wonderful views over the Benasque Valley and its mountains. The height at which this town is located (1,350 meters) gives it a feeling of closeness to the nature that surrounds it, its forests and fantastic pine forests and spectacular views.

The point where the path crosses the ravine is disconcerting because you hear more water than you see. If you leave the path briefly, looking down the ravine, you will be able to see a small waterfall covered in exuberant vegetation.

The church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist has a single nave and is originally Lombard in style. Despite subsequent modifications, it maintains its Romanesque personality. The addition of chapels, to give it a base in the shape of a cross, and a sacristy date from the 17th century. The apse shows the Lombard way of building: blind arches supported by simple corbels and two medial lesinas. The temple's crismon was repositioned over the access door. It is trinitarian with the "omega" symbol, inverted and on the lower right arm. It also has, like almost all those in the valley, the added letters "V" and "E" (From "Vallis Esera" or "Victorian Eclesiae", according to authors). The interior is more Romanesque in appearance.

A stone milestone indicates the point where you should turn off to get to Tuca d'Erisué, but the path has disappeared and it is a little difficult to find. Follow the poles of an old cattle fence and then continue along the spur until you find the path again. There is also another variant that goes down first to the Hermitage of Santa Margarita, and this is marked out as a BTT route.

This is the natural pass between the valleys of Chistau and Benasque. As such, it has been used for millennia and proof of this is the megalithic circle next to the track, which even then served to delimit border limits called "mugas".
