A legendary mountain pass in the Pyrenees. A crossing point between the Chistau and Benasque valleys, linking Sobrarbe and Ribagorza at an altitude of 2000m.

Despite being relatively easy to access, this beautiful lake located at 2300 m altitude is not one of the most visited in the Pyrenees. However, it stands out for being located in a very clear glacial cirque, with an almost perfect overexcavation basin. All Aragonese lakes are protected as they are included in the Inventory of Singular Wetlands, so any activity that could modify the quality of their waters is prohibited. While bathing is not specifically mentioned, it is understood that bathing with chemicals on the skin such as sunscreen, deodorants, perfumes or creams is negatively affecting the quality of the water, so it cannot be done.

Although perhaps the most notable is its Romanesque parish church, expanded in the 16th century, the entire town is worth a walk through its steep streets flanked by houses with thick stone walls and slate roofs.

Access is via forest tracks in good condition. Obviously, to reach 2000m it takes a little time but the reward is worth it: the views are magnificent over the valleys and peaks at 360 degrees. A delight !

The nucleus of Sos is known as the oldest inhabited point in the Sositania Valley. Land for cultivating vines and cereals, it was an important medieval redoubt, which proves that in the 11th century Benasque and Cerler were under its government. The church of San Andrés illustrates this rich history. Romanesque, its construction dates back to the 12th century, although it was built on a previous temple. Around the town there are several hermitages, among which the Virgen del Puy and Santa Lucía stand out. The name Sos comes from the Latin Susum-Sursum which means 'upwards'.

This unguarded refuge is very close to Ibón de Plan and provides a 360 degree panoramic view. On one side are the sharp ridges of the mountains that surround the glacial cirque, and on the other side you can see, in the distance, the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park.
