The trekking begins at the Balsa das Sieras Parking, Formigal. In this stage we will enter the western section of the valley enjoying postcard landscapes, the Ibones de Anayet from where we will see the Midi d’Ossau. The Ibones de Anayet are one of the most photographed sites in the Pyrenees, and the most spectacular viewpoint of the Midi d’Ossau, known as the French Pedraforca, a large rocky mass that impresses both with its history and its scenic beauty. The end of the stage is the Pombie Refuge, located at the foot of the Midi, where the ascent along the normal route begins.
We descend from Pombie heading east towards Caillou de Soques. From there we climb towards the Arrious Col, leaving behind us a spectacular view of the east face of the Pic du Midi d’Ossau, and we head to the Lakes d’Arrémoulit, which give their name to their refuge. The Refugio d’Arremolit, more than known as the best refuge at altitude in the Pyrenees. From this beautiful corner, you can see Pico Arriel.
We ascend to Collado de Arriel, where we will have an incomparable view of the O wall of Pico Balaitús and the Ibones of Arriel Alto. We will descend towards the Ibones of Arriel Bajo and take the route that leads to the Respumoso Refuge. From there we will take the GR11 towards Collado de Tebarray, where we will enjoy unique views of the Neveros and the Marmoleras de Los Infiernos. We will descend in an easterly direction passing through the Ibones deros Azules towards the Ibones de Bachimaña, and we will stop at the refuge that takes its name.
