Aragüés del Puerto – Holiday apartment amid Pyrenean tradition and mountain scenery

Culture and village character

Trails and recreational areas

The GR 15 reaches Aragüés del Puerto after descending from Cuello Chilica along a beautiful, wide path lined with walls. A section of the GR 15 from Urdués passes the Ermita de la Virgen de Catarecha and then continues to Aragüés del Puerto.

The Puente de Labati–Refugio de Lizara S-7 route begins on the road between Aragüés del Puerto and Lizara, at Labati Bridge at an altitude of 1,105 m. The path to Ibón de Estanés can also be reached from Lizara.

The trails differ in their stated starting points and routes: the GR 15 leads over Cuello Chilica or from Urdués to the village, while S-7 begins at Labati Bridge and the path to Ibón de Estanés is reached from Lizara. This allows the routes to be considered separately.

La Molina is a leisure and sports area of more than four hectares on the riverbank. The “Fernando Palazón” Mycological Days included a public excursion to collect various species, followed by an exhibition. The Vía ferrata de Lizara is located one kilometre from Refugio de Lizara and directly beside the access road.
