The Col de la Forqueta or Eriste (2 864 m), the port mtoThe highest of all that incorporates the circuit, it serves to unite the beautiful valleys of Chistau and L'Aigüand from Grist / Insulation.
We leave from the Viadós refuge (1 760 m) following the GR 11 towards the east, crossing the Viadós huts. After passing the orlast of them, we take the detouríor GR 11.2, descending to the right to cross the ríor Cinqueta from Añes Crossing over a bridge.
It starts like thisí to go up the Ribereta ravine on its right bank, between meadows and a tavern, with pine forests appearing as we approach the Canal de las Tuertas that descends from La Llardaneta, being an area of significant avalanches. Crossing this channel (elevation 2,080 m), a steep climb begins, zigzagging up to the límite of the forest (height 2 240 m, approximately).
Already through the tavern, the road softens. The detour is left on the rightíor to the ibones d'it's Millars yd'Es Leners and you come to the vicinity of a small relief, the Tozal Blanco (2 565 m), located to the right of the path, to which it is advisable to go to get a good viewtomica of the huge ibónd'is Millars (2 353 m).
Back on the trail, continueorto the ascent, reaching a new channel that leaves the Forqueta de Grist pass (2 864 m), between the Posets (N) and Bag massifsMEñola or Eriste (S), and on the dividing line between the Chistau and Benasque valleys. Through a new stony channel we descend towards the Llardaneta lake (2 675 m), with views of the Agujas del Forcau, continuing along the stream that starts from the lake. Soon the ascent to Posets is left on the left and, somewhat mtos forward, the devíor from the GR 11.2 towards Estós, alsoandto the left, arriving shortly at the refuge Angel Orúso El Forcau (2 110 m).

The Col de la Forqueta (2,864 m), the highest pass of all the ones on the circuit, serves to link the beautiful valleys of L'Aigüeta de Grist and Chistau.
From the Ángel Orús refuge (2 148 m), we head northwest along the GR 11.2 trail. The path soon reaches the vicinity of the Llardaneta stream and leaves the GR 11.2 turnoff to the right that goes to Estós. After a while, it crosses the stream and goes up its channel, leaving the route of ascent to Posets on the right (above elevation 2,550 m). From here, the views over the Forcau needles and their vertical strata are magnificent.
After narrowing the channel, we reach the Llardaneta lake (2,675 m), installed in a basin at the foot of the Tuca de la Forqueta (3,011 m) and the Dien Royo. It remains to climb a stony channel to the visible Forqueta de Grist pass (2,864 m), between the Posets (N) and Bagüeñola or Eriste (S) massive.
With magnificent panoramic views, the trace of the trail rushes down a new channel, on the way to the Chistau valley. At elevation 2600 m, pay attention to a small relief, the White tozal (2 565 m), located to the left of the path. It is advisable to go there to see a good panoramic view of the enormous ibón d'es Millars (2 353 m).
Back on the path, increasingly clear, the descent goes into the Ribereta ravine, leaves the access to the ibones d'es Millars and d'es Leners on the left and descends between pine forests that, in more than On one occasion, they are affected by significant landslides that descend from La Llardaneta through the Canal de las Tuertas. Almost at the bottom of the valley, it leads to a track for livestock use and, after crossing a bridge over the Cinqueta de Añes Cruces river, it connects with the GR 11, crossing the Biadós huts and reaching the Biadós refuge ( 1 740 m).

The route between the two refuges allows the encounter with a fascinating landscape of lakes that mirror under the mass of the Posets or Llardana massif.
From the shelter of Angel Orús (2 110 m), we follow the GR 11.2 towards the northwest, until the crossroads where the path divides towards Viadós and the traditional route of ascent to Posets, on the left, and towards Estós, on the right.
For this orLast route, you cross the Llardaneta stream and, halfway up the slope, you pass by a hut, continuing the climb towards the mouth of the so-called Ibones valley, where the Grist / Eriste lake outlet is installed (2 411 m). From the lake, you climb the steep granite slopes until you reach the Plana lake and the hill of the same name (2,702 m), where you can admire the summit of Llardana or Posets with the remains of its ice cream maker.
The GR 11.2 descends towards Les Basetes, a set of small lakes from where you can get a great view of the Tartera de Perramó lakes and the spiers that delimit the Batisielles circus to the south. The itinerary turns north, leaving the path to said Perramó lakes on the right, to go down a rocky hemicycle, under the fabulous Perramó needles. Reach así the ibones of l'Aigüeta de Batisielles (2 320 m), followed by the lake Gran de Batisielles (2 216 m). We descend until we reach the Ibonet de Batisielles (1 850 m), where the path coming from the Perramó lakes and one that goes down to Estós converge on the right, signposted as S3 by the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park.
It is left behindtos the house near the Ibonet (on the left) and, following the GR 11.2, it gradually turns to the northwest, peeking outtoWe go down slightly, and between meadows and forests, to the border chain that closes Estós to the north. Crossing the Montidiego ravine, in a gentle ascent, you reach a balcony over the valley, from which you go down to cross the river.íor by a lever, going up to the refuge of Estós (1 890 m).

The route between the two refuges allows the encounter with a fascinating landscape of lakes that mirror under the mass of the Posets / Llarana massif.
From the Estós refuge (1895 m), the GR 11.2 trail descends to the south, to cross the river that gives it its name with a lever, to begin the ascent up the opposite slope, to a balcony over the valley (1955 m ) that allows you to reach the Batisielles threshold without barely descending.
At the beginning, the path loses a certain height until it crosses the Montidiego ravine, then, again, it regains its height and, between meadows and forests, it looks out over the border chain that closes Estós to the north. Gradually, the route turns and, in a slight descent, enters the Aigüeta de Batisielles basin, crossing a thick pine forest. Reach the hut located next to the Ibonet de Batisielles (1850 m), leaving the turnoff to the Perramó lakes and the S3 path of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park that comes from the Estós valley to the left, and follow the GR 11.2 signs to go up to the lake Gran de Batisielles (2216 m), which is followed by the lakes of l'Aigüeta de Batisielles (2320 m).
After these, you go over the walls of a rocky hemicycle on the left, under the fabulous Perramó needles, until you reach Les Basetes, a set of small lagoons from where you can get a great view over the Tartera de Perramó lakes and the needles that they delimit the Batisielles cirque to the south.
A last ramp of huge granite blocks leads to the Plana pass (2702 m), where you can discover the summit of Llardana or Posets with the remains of its ice cream maker and, then, to the lake of the same name.
Next, you descend the steep granite slopes to the gutter of the ibón de Grist (2411 m), at the mouth of the so-called valley of the Ibones. After reaching the Llardana cabin and the Llardaneta stream, which will have to be crossed, it connects with the GR 11.2 path that, to the right (E), goes to Biadós and the traditional ascent route of Posets and, towards the left, in a short descent, to the Ángel Orús or El Forcau refuge (2148 m).

Stage cltorock of the GR 11 that serves to unite two emblematic valleystoticos of the Aragonese Pyrenees, Estós and Chistau.
We leave the Estós refuge (1 890 m), following the GR 11 route to the west and going up the valley on the left bank, halfway up the hillside. The forest goto staying behindtos as we approach the confluence of the Clarabide ravine (N), which faces the steep Agujas de la Paorl. Aceí we will reach the characterístic «lunch boxes» or fields that, once overcome, leave uston in the Collada de Estós or port of Chistau (2 572 m). An outcrop calctoprisoner on the hill houses a curious «Best» o sump ctorustic that is worth contemplating.
The GR 11 descends decisively, crossing three ravines, until it comes to a place where several streams converge: the Pleta de Añes Cruces, where the itinerary turns in a south-southwest direction, to follow the course of the Cinqueta de Añes Cruces, always on its right bank. Soon you will pass by the hut and source of Puyarueso, through deforested terrain that contrasts with the thick forests of black pine on the other side (Clot pine).
AccompanySurrounded by the view of the impressive mass of Llardana or Posets (3 369 m), to the east, with the remains of a glacier under its summit, we left the límyths of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park -leaving the detour to the leftíor GR 11.2- and we crossed the set of huts of Viadós / Biadyou, arriving at the refuge of the same name (1 760 m).

Classic stage of the GR 11 that serves to join two emblematic valleys of the Aragonese Pyrenees, that of Chistau and that of Estós.
From the Biadós refuge (1 741 m), take the GR 11 path, which crosses the set of huts of the same name, leaving the GR 11.2 detour on the right and entering the Posets-Maladetas Natural Park. In sight, the impressive mass of Llardana or Posets (3 369 m) stands out, with the remains of a glacier under its summit.
Soon you will pass by the hut and source of Puyarueso, through deforested terrain that contrasts with the thick forests of black pine on the other side (Clot pine). The path gradually goes up the course of the Cinqueta de Añes Cruces, always along its orographic right bank, to the Pleta de Añes Cruces, a place where several streams converge. The GR crosses three ravines and begins to gain height more decisively, towards the important pass of the Chistau pass or Colla d'Estós (2,572 m). A calcareous outcrop in the hill houses a curious 'forau' or karst sinkhole that is worth contemplating.
The descent to the bottom of the Estós valley is very long, crossing at the beginning characteristics 'tarteras' or scree. With its trough or U shape, typical of glacial valleys, on both slopes of the valley, in the middle of the slope, there are shoulder pads that give the complex a particularly photogenic appearance, with a distant backdrop dominated by the massif of the Maladetas. From the confluence with the Clarabide ravine (2 070 m), at the foot of the steep Paúl needles, a path with little slope evolves through the meadows on the left bank of the river, until it reaches the Estós refuge (1 895 m ).

From the shelter Angel Orúso El Forcau (2,110 m), take the path to the Viadós refuge (GR 11.2) in a northwesterly direction. After advancing through meadows, granite blocks and some stables, you reach level 2 370 and the crossroads where the GR 11.2 forks: to the right starts the section that goes to Estóyes, throughands of the Col de la Plana, and straight ahead, the one that goes to Viadós continues, by which you must continue.
Shortly afterands, the path crosses the Llardaneta ravine and continues along its left bank to the entrance of the Canal Fonda, open on the southern slope of Posets or Llardana and flanked by the Agujas del Tucón de la Canal (or Dien de Llarana) and the Tucas from the Canal Fonda. A little mtos ahead (2,550 m), leave the GR 11.2 signs to take a marked path that, to the right (N), enters the narrow channel and climbs it until reaching the Col del Diente, often with snow or ice (3,015 m) until well into the summer.
Once we have reached this hill, we just have to continue up the slope (heading north) along the stony Back of Posets, to goto narrowedtoprogressively growing until it becomes a narrow ridge through which we will arrive directly at Posets or Llardana (3 369 m).
