Refuge de Vénasque
Highlight • Mountain Hut
You can then continue towards the Port of Vénasque and possibly the Pic de Safeguard or towards the Col, Lac and Pic de la Montagnette.
By taking a little height, we realize the beauty of these ponds.
The only points that could hinder a bit are a ford in the spring and early summer (you risk getting your feet wet if you are not agile enough) and a snowfield to bypass in the spring.

Port de Vénasque / Puerto de Benasque
Highlight • Mountain Pass
Its small rocky passage nestles between the Mine and the Pic de Sauvegarde. The panorama is absolutely magnificent, both on the French and Spanish sides.

Picada Pass
Highlight • Mountain Pass
very beautiful, with unbeatable views of the north face of Maladeta.
The path is well defined and marked by milestones until reaching Port de la Picada itself. It goes up gently in a zigzag pattern until it reaches the Basetas del Portillón, small lakes that can sometimes be found dry. From here, we turn right, looking for an easterly orientation to overcome the last slope that leaves us at Port de la Picada. On the other side, you can see small lakes called Bom des Clòts de Lunfèrn and the Valley that descends towards Artiga de Lin (Vall d'Aran).
