Snowshoes in the forau de Aigualluts Benasque

Knowing the mountains undoubtedly gives us beautiful views that remain carved in our memory forever, but the beauty of the landscapes is really increased when we visit these places in winter, when they are full of snow from the summits to the foot of the mountain. To experience such a picture, the best way is with a snowshoe route, and we suggest you visit the forau de Aigualluts or the sinkhole of Aigualluts.

This 2-hour snowshoe excursion will take place in the heart of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park, in the municipality of Benasque in Huesca, with a perfect itinerary to do it this way. You will not need anything, just come warm with snow clothes, the materials and the guide, we take care of it so that you only have to come and start having fun so that the lack of utensils is not a problem.

Our snowshoe route starts from Llanos del Hospital and if you have chosen this route for your first time, we must tell you that you have chosen well, because it is an iconic Aragonese Pyrenees that helps us contemplate the most beautiful and symbolic of its entire mountain range, the forau de Aigualluts.

We will start from the Vado del Hospital car park and continue along Pleta de la Sarra to Benasque Hospital. We will travel along the bottom of the valley until we reach the Plan de Están lakes. This route will lead us to the Plan de Están cabin and the Besurta, until we reach the forau, and see a beautiful waterfall and the >Aigualluts plain. From here, wrapped in an overwhelming silence and with the sensation of levitation that snowshoes give us, we will contemplate the top of Aneto. Once we have enjoyed enough of this environment, we will begin our return route, this time, downhill, to rest our bodies after this adventure with snowshoes.

Enjoy the mountains like never before, you will never have felt so much inner peace when you contemplate the beautiful views that await you while you only hear the mountain breeze run through your body and the sound of the snow sinking slightly with each step. Delve into these serene landscapes that await you at the forau Aigualluts with an unforgettable snowshoe excursion.
