It's a small sanctuary located high in the mountains (at an altitude of approximately 860 m), popular with hikers and cyclists. From there, there are spectacular views of the Monegros mountains, the mountains, and, on clear days, even the Pyrenees. It's one of the most iconic spots on the mountain bike routes in the area.

A tough but very rewarding climb to the top of Monte Oscuro, home to the weather station and the large spherical radar visible for miles. The place is breathtaking: surrounded by silence, with spectacular views of the entire Cinca Medio, the Pyrenees to the north, and the Monegros to the south. The climb is steady, along a well-maintained forest track, although with challenging sections. Reaching the top, with the radar next to you, gives you the feeling of having reached a special place. A must-stop for photos, a break, and to enjoy the open landscape.

A group of natural caves located on the slopes of Mount San Caprasio, associated with ancient pastoral, hermitage, and possibly even pre-Christian uses. Some were used as shelters for shepherds or anchorites, and local tradition links them to the primitive cult that gave rise to the hermitage. Relatively easy to access from the track or the hermitage, they are a curious place to explore on foot, with views of the Ésera Valley and an utterly silent environment. They add a mystical and ancestral touch to any route in the area.

A small natural viewpoint located on a stretch of the trail just before reaching the San Caprasio hermitage. It offers sweeping views of the Ésera Valley, the surrounding villages (El Run, Castejón de Sos, Sesué), and, on clear days, as far as Turbón and part of the Posets massif. Ideal for resting after the climb, taking photos, or simply enjoying the silence of the mountain. A perfect spot to recharge your batteries before the final stretch to the hermitage.

A dirt track that ascends from El Run toward the area around San Caprasio, with sections of steady gradient and uneven road surfaces in places. Ideal for MTB or gravel riders with good handling, it offers spectacular views of the Ésera Valley and the Pyrenean foothills. Surrounded by forest and scrubland, it is a challenging but very rewarding climb. Perfect as a connecting section to higher routes in the Benasque Valley or as a symbolic climb for its cultural and scenic value.
