PN 1 Ordesa Valley
Torla-Cola de Caballo-Góriz Shelter
This is without doubt the most popular route in the National Park; essential in order to understand the spectacular Ordesa Valley and its waterfalls.
Achievable for everyone as far as the Cola de Caballo (Horsetail Waterfall). This is the one route that every visitor that comes to Ordesa should experience. It runs along the floor of the Ordesa Valley, visiting the countless waterfalls and enables visitors to imagine what this valley was like 50,000 years ago when it was completely covered in ice.
