산 후안 데 플랜 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

Very well maintained, with some firewood, frying pan, cutlery, grill, lighters, radio, a guitar...

Parking at start of hike. Watch out for the high concrete edge.

Despite being relatively easy to access, this beautiful lake located at 2300 m altitude is not one of the most visited in the Pyrenees. However, it stands out for being located in a very clear glacial cirque, with an almost perfect overexcavation basin. All Aragonese lakes are protected as they are included in the Inventory of Singular Wetlands, so any activity that could modify the quality of their waters is prohibited. While bathing is not specifically mentioned, it is understood that bathing with chemicals on the skin such as sunscreen, deodorants, perfumes or creams is negatively affecting the quality of the water, so it cannot be done. You can read the protection decree and the list of wetlands included here: aragon.es/-/humedales-de-aragon

Although perhaps the most notable is its Romanesque parish church, expanded in the 16th century, the entire town is worth a walk through its steep streets flanked by houses with thick stone walls and slate roofs.

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 !
