Hospital Plains -Renclusa Shelter

Benasque Hospital – La Besurta – La Renclusa Refuge

Simple and beautiful stage that starts from the free parking of Llanos del Hospital. We will walk along a comfortable path that very gently gains height without any technical difficulty., but framed in a postcard setting. Upon reaching Besurta, the path becomes rockier and now the slope becomes more pronounced to gain meters and get closer to the Renclusa Refuge.. Before reaching the refuge we will have a waterfall on our right where if we feel like it we can make a stop to contemplate the numerous peaks that surround us..
