Spain's Ordesa National Park, in the central Pyrenees, is little known to many British walkers and yet offers some of the most exciting adventure walking in Europe. Situated near the village of Torla, towering limestone peaks have been eroded to form impressive walking routes. Let Boots And Gaiters show you what the area has to offer. Try the Faja de las Flores, in our view one of the most exciting routes in the world, and easily completed in a day. Try also some of the clavijas (lit. 'pins'), fixed items of scrambling equipment that are so characteristic of this area, and a major advantage to the adventure walker. You will need a head for heights, some experience of scrambling, and a reasonable level of fitness. If you can reach the summit of Snowdon and back in a day, you should have no problem in the Ordesa. We would, however, recommend that you attended the Boots And Gaiters Skye Scrambles or Snowdonia Scrambles courses if you wish to gain maximum value from the Ordesa.

Start point: Torla. Options might include flying to Toulouse, Biarritz or Bilbao and hiring a car from there.
