Arrieles Gorge
About the place
Arrieles Gorge channels the waters from the Arriel lakes down to La Sarra Reservoir, forming a V-shaped glacial canyon. The river carves dramatic waterfalls and cascades through massive granite slabs. The trail along the gorge reveals a shift from dense mountain forests to stark alpine wastelands. Steep cliffs of Pico Aneto and the Balaitus massif dominate the horizon. The raw power of flowing water and echoing falls emphasizes the untamed beauty of the Pyrenean high mountains.
