The spectacular Ordesa National Park is one of the highlights of the Pyrenees. This guided walking holiday explores the incredible diversity of the park, from it’s deep canyons to it’s high alpine meadows.
We offer two guided walking options each day -
Take a look at our walking holiday gallery or read previous guests comments about our holidays.
The week includes 5 days fully guided walking. Two guides will be working during the week and two different walks will be offered each day.
One option will be a grade 1 or 2 walk at a fairly relaxed pace with plenty of time to soak up the views. These walks will be on good well graded paths and visit the alpine meadows and valleys of the park. Walks will be between four to six hours with three or four hundred metres of ascent.
The second option will be a grade 3 or 4 hike on one of the spectacular high level paths the park is famous for. A good head for heights will be needed for some routes and there will be steep sections on most days. These hikes will be six to nine hours each day with six hundred to a thousand metres of ascent so a good level of fitness is required for these walks.

Holidays are based in the four star Hotel Ordesa just outside the village of Torla. With views of the Ordesa valley the hotel has excellent facilities including an outdoor pool, bar, restaurant, lounge and spa with steam room and jacuzzi.
The hotel is perfectly placed for walkers and there are several great walks that start straight from the hotel door.
Three course evening meals are served in the restaurant each evening (apart from the rest day when we’ll visit the nearby town of Ainsa).
The pretty village of Torla has a range of shops, bars and all of the amenities you’ll need and is less than 15 minutes walk away.
These walks explore the Ordesa National Park and it’s immediate surroundings. This is a sample itinerary and the exact routes will depend on conditions and the kind of walks the group would like to do.
Arrive in Torla from Zaragoza in the evening. On arrival we’ll have a short briefing over a snack.
