Easy climb, but fitness is required. At the summit and on the way you will be rewarded with a spectacular view.

A tough climb, but the truth is that it is worth it, there are about 2 times that it seems that you arrive but there is a little left, in summer it must be impossible to do it because of the heat, since at the beginning it is forest but 3/4 of the route is open sky. 2740m with beautiful views⛰️

Very nice hike from the Ordino pass. For example: in average physical condition, it took me 2 hours to reach the summit and 1 hour and a half to come down. The climbs are sometimes steep for those who are not used to it, but the view is definitely worth it. Bring good walking shoes, especially for the rocky descent.

An affordable peak for all audiences, which is accessed from Portalet. It is at the foot of the mythical Midi d'ossau and the views are spectacular. You can go around or round trip through the Pombie refuge, where there is a beautiful pond and also a fountain to collect water.
