The Eriste to Anciles and Conques family trail is a short and accessible route that allows you to enjoy nature and some of the most charming spots in the Benasque Valley. The route begins at the bridge over the Ésera River , located in the heart of Eriste. From this point, take the path that leads to the village of Anciles , known for its well-preserved traditional Pyrenean architecture.
After exploring its streets and stone houses, the route continues to the Conques house , a group of old buildings where the Gardeta fountain is located . Opposite the fountain stands a monumental holly tree, striking in its size and one of the most photogenic spots on the route.
From this vantage point, the path enters the lush forest of the Selva de Conques , a natural environment of great ecological value where species such as hazel, oak, ash, and poplar trees abound. The cool shade, along with the murmur of the small streams, creates an ideal atmosphere for enjoying a relaxing family walk.
The circular route, of low difficulty, returns to Eriste , making it a perfect excursion for those seeking direct contact with nature without great physical exertion. This trail combines rural heritage, mountain landscapes, and botanical diversity , making it an excellent option for discovering the Benasque Valley with children or in a group.
