The natural surroundings are the highlight of this high mountain trail passing through the Bahns de Tredòs area and the upper Aiguamòg valley. It borders the Aigüestortes National Park and Estany de San Maurici.

Leave Salardú and go up the paved track to Banhs de Tredòs. The track, which is dirt here, continues to rise through a beautiful natural area and reaches the Pruedo plain (2050 m) surrounding Tuc dera Salana, which is on your left.

The descent to Valarties is quite fast, and on the valley floor you’ll find the paved road again that will take you to Arties. From there, you’ll just have to head towards Gessa and Unha on the GR 211 and go back to Salardú.

Los Banhs de Tredòs is a unique place (the highest hot springs in Europe), where you can enjoy this wonder of nature. From the Pruedo area, the views of Montardo and the Rius valley are the most spectacular you’ll see in Arán.

Finally, the trail passes through Arties, Gessa and Unha where you can take the opportunity to explore.

This is a physically tough route, since there is a 600 m height difference in just a few kilometres along narrow lanes, a track with steep inclines, and a stretch you might have to do by foot.

Leave Salardú and take the track that goes up to Aiguamòg; the paved track finishes at km 1.4 where there is a short descent to the lane from Tredòs, leading to terrain that is more uneven and sloping. Go past the crossing on your left, which would take you to the village of Baqueira 1500, and continue to km 4.7, where you’ll take the track that crosses the river and leads to the port road. Cross it and follow the steep ravine to Tanau. You’ll then link up to the track that rises to level 1800, continuing a few hundred metres down the Beret road. You’ll find the toughest inclines of the trail in this section.

You’ll get to Orri along a flat plane, and you’ll get to the source of the Garonne by the road, where the lane leading you to Bagergue and Unha down an impressive descent begins. Finally, you’ll reach Salardú via the local road.

A visit to the natural surroundings of Orri and Beret from a non-winter perspective is highly recommended. The views over Garonne valley with the Maladeta mountain as a backdrop are breathtaking.

An attractive trail for the whole family along which you’ll visit the village of Tredòs and enjoy fabulous views of Salardú and Unha.

The loop route on asphalt or concrete roads is very quiet, but you’ll have to watch out for cars on the Aiguamòg stretch of track on busy summer days.

From the Salardu tourist office, ride down to the roundabout, crossing with caution, and take the track to Aiguamòg. After climbing up a steep incline for a few hundred metres, take the road that will bring you to Tredòs. Cross the town on the side of the Garonne river and take the Camin Reiau, which will lead you, among crop fields, back to Salardú.

In Salardú, you’ll find La Mòla next to the river, which can be visited during the summer months and is a good place to rest up and for the kids to play.

The trail makes for an interesting visit to the villages of Salardú, Gessa and Unha, with their magnificent churches and fortified houses. If you ride off-trail through each village, you’ll discover some very authentic and well-preserved spots. There is also a wide range of restaurants and bars available for quick breaks along the trail.

Short steep inclines increase the trail’s level of difficulty to some extent.

Leave Salardú in the direction of Unha on the local road and cross the town. At the fountain at the exit of Unha, take the track to the right of the hill, heading towards Gessa via the highest point. From the town square, head back to Salardú via the local road. At the roundabout on the C-25 road, take the track on the left, which goes back to Unha. The return to Salardú is on the same trail, crossing through Unha. You can return from the roundabout to Salardú by following the C-25, which has a good shoulder despite heavy traffic. This will avoid a stretch of track with more slopes.

In Unha, don’t miss a visit to the Romanesque church of Santa Eulalia and the Nheu museum. In Salardú, visit the church of Sant Andreu and the PyrenMuseu.
