Ordesa Meadow

Highlight • Parking

The Pradera de Ordesa is a strategic point from which many routes start. There is a restaurant where the mountaineers go to pay homage at the end of the exercise. Right here you can buy bus tickets back to Torla.

In high season it is not possible to arrive by private vehicle.

Beech Forest

Highlight • Forest

This peaceful forest provides shade and coolness on hot summer days. It preserves a bit of autumn on the ground, where the dry leaves are crowded, contrasting with the greenery of those still hanging from the branches. The trail follows the course of the Arazas River.

Estrecho Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Spectacular waterfall considered by many visitors the most beautiful in Ordesa. A small path allows access to a viewpoint located at the base of the waterfall and thus contemplate the spectacular water fall with maximum safety.

Soaso Cirque

Highlight • Canyon

This glacial cirque, the destination of the most popular route in the Ordesa Valley, is as impressive from above as it is from below. At the foot runs the Arazas River; on the sides, huge limestone walls. On one side you can see the Path of the Hunters and, in the background, the Cola de Caballo waterfall and the peaks of Monte Perdido and Cilindro de Marboré.

May 23, 2024,Ordesa - Cola de Caballo

The idea was to access the horsetail via the Senda de los Cazadores, but this path is only open in the summer season due to the risk of falling snowfields on the route.

November 5, 2022,[Aragon] Vallée d’Ordesa

This canyon in the Ordesa National Park is simply a marvel of nature. A magnificent path by the waterfalls of the río Arazas to the Cola de Caballo in the circus of Soaso with magical colors all along the route

I am very impressed with the Cola de Caballo waterfall.
I think it is the most beautiful waterfall I have ever seen.
The route to get there is all uphill, but at least you'll return going downhill.
Besides, along the way you will see four or five other beautiful waterfalls.
Don't worry because the entire trail is well marked, and …

February 17, 2024,👨🏼‍🦯Valle de Ordesa

Typical walk through the Ordesa Valley to the Cola de Caballo with little snow for this time of year. With the surprise of a good stretch of icy path where if we do not wear crampons, as is the case, we must pay attention to avoid an unpleasant slip on the ice.
Inexplicably, the data collected by Komoot do not …

June 10, 2023,🇪🇦4:50h Cola de Caballo/PN de Ordesa y Monte Perdido (19km, 700Hm)

The day before yesterday on the beach, yesterday in the desert of Bardenas Reales (only "hike by car" there, but real hiking would be something. Badlands of New Mexico in northern Spain) and today in the Pyrenees. From Torla (very nice mountain town) we didn't have to take a bus (necessary in summer), but could drive straight through to the …

June 15, 2025,Torla - Durch das Valle de Ordesa

On this tour, a mostly wide forest path leads us through the forest, with the river rushing beside us.

From time to time, we can pull off to viewpoints and catch a glimpse of the roaring water.

May 3, 2023,Valle de Ordesa - Cola de Caballo

This beautiful tour leads from Pradera de Ordesa through the Ordesa Valley to the Cola de Caballo waterfall at the end of the valley. The path leads past other impressive waterfalls through a very beautiful beech forest. The tour is easy to walk but exhausting due to its length. It goes almost continuously over a road, only towards the end …

September 22, 2022,Caminata PARQUE NATURAL DE ORDESA

An excursion that we had yet to do. At last! Yesterday the last day of summer we did it. From Jaca we set off towards the Ordesa Natural Park, we arrive at the car park, and from there we begin the 11km walk to Cola de Caballo. We made a stop to rest, take some photos and start our way …
