Itinerary designed for those that like more relaxed days in the mountains enjoying the flora and fauna. We’ll walk between 5 to 7 hours each day on good paths with 350m to 600m of ascent.

Accommodation

Holidays are based in the four star Hotel Tierra de Biescas which has a pool, sauna and lovely gardens to relax in. The village of Biescas makes an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding area.

Three course evening meals are taken at the hotel restaurant each night, apart from the rest day when we will visit Jaca and eat at one of the excellent restaurants or tapas bars.

Itinerary

During the week we visit several of the most beautiful areas in the region, each with their own charm. One day will be spent exploring the dramatic scenery of the Ordesa National Park.

This is a sample itinerary - the exact routes will depend on the weather and what the group would like to achieve.

Sunday - Biescas

Arrive in Biescas from Zaragoza late evening. Short briefing over a generous helping of Serrano ham, baguettes and wine.

Monday - Ibon de Piedrafita

Nestled in the meadows under the cliffs of the Sierra de Partacua lies the Ibon de Piedrafita. A gentle climb takes us out of the woodland for superb views across the Valle de Tena.

Tuesday - San Juan de la Peña

The cliffs around San Juan de la Peña are home to colonies of griffon vultures. A beautiful ridge walk above the cliffs gives us a great opportunity to see these huge birds up close and enjoy superb vistas across the Pyrenees. This walk can be combined with a visit to the fascinating medieval monastery complex of San Juan de la Peña.

Wednesday - Valle de Ordesa

The sheer cliffs of the Valle de Ordesa are an undisputable highlight of the Pyrenees. As you follow the  Río Arazas you'll pass waterfalls and rock pools before the woodland gives way to spectacular views of the surrounding cliffs and the 3000m peak of Monte Perdido towering above you.

Thursday - Rest day

Spend a relaxing day in Biescas, or visit one of the nearby attractions such as the Parque Faunistico that has native fauna such as wolves, lynx and bison. In the evening we’ll visit the local town of Jaca for vino and tapas.

Friday - Villages of the Serrablo

A walk linking the medieval villages of the Serrablo. These pretty villages are famous for their 11th century romanesque churches. We walk through gentle woodland with views up the Valle de Tena and have a picnic lunch at the semi abandoned village of Susín which has just one remaining inhabitant!

Saturday - Punta del Pacino

A beautiful ascent through woodland and meadows to the peak of Punta del Pacino. Its position at the centre of the valley gives fabulous  panoramic views of the Valle De Tena and surrounding peaks.

Sunday

Free morning in Biescas before leaving mid-afternoon to catch the evening flight from Zaragoza.
