Ordesa

The Ordesa valley is the crowd puller of the national park Ordesa and Monte Perdido. A long worn out glacier valley with one amazing view after another.
Within Ordesa we have 2 walks on this website (Faja Racon and Faja Pelay), but you can also visit the valley without a (long) walk. At the parking lot is already a beautiful relaxing meadow, and you walk something against the current you will find beautiful places to picnic.
A short walk is possible along the 3 waterfalls, a bit longer would be going to the end of the valley (Cola de Caballo) and back.
Another option is parking in Torla. And walking to the Pradera of Ordesa. This is a well-maintained and well-marked route, which takes approximately two hours of walking. On the pradera is a meadow where you can picnic, and there is also a restaurant. You can choose: walk the same way back, or take the bus (the latter only in the summer)
This excursion is free and can be done without guidance.
