Valle de Chistau
The Chistau Valley is not as known as some other valleys in the Spanish Pyrenees, but it’s pristine beauty is overwhelming. Driving through the valley towards Plan you experience this, but even more so when you are going out into nature. And there are plenty of opportunities in this beautiful valley.
At the end of the valley you can drive on a gravel road to Viados. This is a mountain hut in a mountain meadow, where you imagine yourself at Heidi and Peter's place, though they would be named Carmen and Pablo here. The Posets (2nd peak of the Pyrenees) dominates the image.
From Viados start various paths in all directions. For instance to the Collado de Chistau.
The Ibon the Plan is accessible on foot from Plan, or by car, with a short walk to the end. Anyway, the picnic at the edge of the lake will taste.
In the valley there is also a cheese factory, where you can taste and see how the cheese is made.
Specifically in this valley, we selected two locations, namely Hotel Mediodia and Villa de Plan
