El Parador visitor centre
The best place to get maps and information about the trails and hikes around Ordesa is at the visitor centre, located in the old parador. The centre also offers an interesting exhibition area with information about the park and its history, and about the protection and sustainable use of its natural resources.

The waterfalls
The most spectacular and most easily accessed of the waterfalls are el Estrecho and la Cueva. Higher up are the Gradas de Soaso, a flight of natural step-like projections formed by erosion by the Arazas. The farthest fall is the Cola de Caballo, where the water thunders against the rock wall that closes the head of the valley.

Torla
The town of Torla is the gateway to Ordesa. The centre, presided over by the church of St Peter the Apostle makes the town noteworthy, but, above all, it is the beauty of the surroundings which captures the imagination.

Monte Perdido
At 3,355 metres, Monte Perdido - "the lost mountain" - is the highest peak in the park, and the third highest in the Pyrenees. It forms part of the Tres Sorores, the highest limestone massif in Europe. The classic ascent is from the mountain refuge at Goriz, and requires a certain level of skill and care. On the north face, two glaciers overhang the Pineta valley, a reminder of the climate of a past age.

Añisclo Gorge
This is a spectacular gorge, formed by the the Bellos river, tributary of the Cinca, which starts at Escalona, in the south of the park. The road winds for 13 kilometres until it reaches the San Urbez hermitage. From there, it follows the canyon to the ruins of the Aso mill, past the Fuen Blanca waterfall arriving, at last, at the source of the Bellos.

Escuain Gorge
Located in the south west of the park. A trail leaves from the church in the village of Escuain, descending between beeches through a magnificent gorge and down to the source of the Yaga river.

Monte Perdido parador
In the north east of the park, a tarmac road leaves Javierre, one of the five centres of the town of Bielsa. It enters the Pineta valley to reach the parador which was built with the magnificent backdrop of the Pineta cirque.

La Larri cirque and plains
One of the most beautiful and accessible areas of the Pineta valley. The trail sets out from the car park, rising gently for an hour and a quarter to the La Larri plains. Fifteen minutes more takes you to the cirque, a lateral ravine of the Cinca.

Fanlo & Nerin
The highest villages in Bellos and Vio valleys are both enchanting Pyrenean villages with exceptional panoramic views in whose streets the essence of mountain life survives to this day. Close by is Sarvise, surrounded by meadows and gateway to the Ordesa y Monte Perdido national park. The church is a fine example of Romanesque architecture and the huge local chimneys give a typical style to the traditional houses.
