Ibón de Batisielles Hiking Trail

A classic and highly rewarding hiking trail leading to the stunning glacial lakes (Ibones) of Batisielles. Starting from the Pista de Liri, the well-marked path winds through beautiful pine forests and ascends gradually, revealing spectacular panoramic views of the valley. The main 'Ibón Grande de Batisielles' is a serene turquoise lake nestled in a dramatic cirque, perfect for picnicking and photography. The full round trip takes approximately 4-6 hours, covering about 12-15 km with an elevation gain of around 600-800 meters. While generally moderate, some sections can be steep. Access to the trailhead usually requires driving a short distance from Benasque. This trail offers a quintessential Pyrenean lake experience.
