The “Alta Ruta de los Perdidos” is a project that originates firstly to ancient herdsmen & in recent times to the ranger of the Bujaruelo mountain. It connects the livestock valley of Ara, uniting it with routes to two of the great massifs of the Pyrenees, Monte Perdido and Vignemale. The route is 100 km and has 7,000 meters of cumulative gain. It is gorgeous & authentic, with spectacular mountains, glacial cirques and valleys, making this Alta Ruta de los Perdidos the only route to experience.

La Alta Ruta de los Perdidos is a challenging high mountain trek; it demands fitness & high-level hiking experience.

02 day

Refugio Bujaruelo - Refugio Goriz. 16km

⇑1.600m ⇓750m

Breakfast. From Bujaruelo we cross the Roman bridge and ascend following the red and white markings that indicate the GR 11 as far as the Puerto de Bujaruelo pass. Here we follow the sign that leads us to the Refugio de la Brecha de Rolando. From the Brecha de Rolando Refuge we first continue a little to the right to begin the descent along a path marked by cairns/route markers that will take us to the Planas de Narciso. From here we turn to our left (heading NE) and reach the Millares pass to continue along the plains of the same name until we reach the Góriz mountain hut. Dinner and overnight at Goriz Refugio.

03 day

Refugio Goriz – Refugio de Pineta. 12,6km

⇑650m ⇓1.600m

Breakfast. We leave Góriz following the GR 11 markings that gradually climb to the Collado Superior de Góriz. At this point, we go the GR 11 that descends to the Añisclo Canyon and follow the route markers in a north-easterly direction through the Faja de las Olas to the Collado de Añisclo. In some locations, some chains help along challenging parts of the route. There is the option to avoid this technical part by descending to the Fuen Blanca and then ascending the Collado de Añisclo. We carefully descend the long and demanding descent from the Collado de Añisclo to the Mountain Hut. Dinner and overnight at Pineta Refugio.

04 day

Refugio de Pineta – Refugio de Espuguettes. 17,2km

⇑1.750m ⇓950m

Breakfast. We follow the National Park signs from Pineta to the Balcón de Pineta and Lago de Marboré. We continue skirting the lake on the right towards the Tucarroya Gap and Refuge. We climb up to the gap, and from here, we descend along a steeply sloping channel with many loose rocks that require us to descend with caution. The difficulty increases if there is snow, and it is essential to use ice axes and crampons. An alternative variant via Puerto Nuevo de Pineta also avoids this technical pass. Once we descend from the Brecha de Tucarroya, we head towards the Horquette d’Alans along an uphill path. Finally, descend to the Espuguettes Refuge, where we will enjoy unbeatable views. Dinner and overnight at Espuguettes Refugio.

05 day

Refugio de Espuguettes – Refugio Grange Holle. 14,7km

⇑350m ⇓850m

Breakfast. Departure from the Espuguettes Mountain Hut in the direction of Gavarnie. After a steep descent, you will see a signpost indicating the path to the Cirque de Gavarnie to the left. Follow this beautiful forest path that will take you to the base of the imposing Cirque de Gavarnie. It is about an hour from the Hotellerie du Cirque to Gavarnie. From the village of Gavarnie to the Grange de Holle Mountain Hut, we follow a somewhat hidden path. We follow the signs to the cemetery and afterwards take an unmarked trail to the right, which leads to the Grange de Holle Mountain Hut. Dinner and overnight at Grange de Holle Refugio.

06 day

Refugio Grange Holle – Refugio Oulettes. 17,5 km

Continuing along the path that climbs up to the Horquette d’Ossoue, we descend to the Oulèttes Mountain Hut. Dinner and overnight at Oulèttes de Gaube Refugio.
