Green way markers

After ten min pass hospital de benasque on right and walk happily through summer cattle pastures

Straight on toward la berusta

Photo

At end of plain cross stream via wooden bridge and head slowly upward into thicker woodland following gr trail

Photo

Just after bridge head right to la besurta which climbs more steadily now

Photo

OPP side of river is road that shuttle bus uses in summer to la besurta. Area walking through now has many damaged and dead first knocked down by winter avalanche

Photo

Occasional info panels add context to walk

Photo

Cross alongside wide glacial valley that in spring can be a lake but by late summer often has just a small pool left in corner. By now path climbs only very gently

Photo

One hr from parking go right at this junction at far end of glacial valley

Photo

Hr ten from start hit road and follow it up valley a short way

Photo

After fifty metres veer onto footpath to right of road and cross an open valley

Just under hr half and after crossing plain and climbing small ridge come to la besurta where shuttle buses stop and there's a cafe. Ow the walk gets really busy in summer at least. Follow trail toward renclusa refuge

Photo

The hard to loose path goes up past streams on a paved stone track. Mome TS later meet an important signed junction. For the loop walk you can go either way. We describe it in anti clockwise route going past refuge and over pass first. In which case go right at the junction and climb steadily uphill
