Benasque occupies the central valley of the three that make up the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park. From this town with a lot of soul you can enjoy the Pyrenean landscape. Not only that, but it is home to the largest number of 3,000-meter-high peaks in the mountain range. The Benasque Valley forms the center and heart of the Pyrenees.

The Linsoles Reservoir is a small reservoir that is located very close to the town of Eriste, and where the waters of the Ésera river, coming from the Maladeta massif, come from.

Although the most remarkable thing about this peak is, without a doubt, its views, an amusing curiosity is that its altitude is the best-selling number in Castejón de Sos for the Christmas Lottery, 02,728.

Comfortable path parallel to the river Ésera at the height of Sesué. It is one of the few opportunities to go near the river after the Eriste reservoir since the river is boxed in and the paths are usually well above it.
