Faja de las Flores
A high ledge trail on the northern wall of Ordesa Valley with a sheer drop of hundreds of meters below, considered one of the most thrilling viewing routes in the Pyrenees.
The Faja de las Flores runs along the northern cliffs of Ordesa Valley at about 2,400 meters. It is a natural rock ledge only one or two meters wide, with a vertical cliff on one side and an empty drop of several hundred meters on the other. It offers a panoramic view of the whole gorge, and in summer alpine flowers bloom in the rock crevices. The usual route climbs from Ordesa Meadow via the steep iron-ladder section called Kukelis, and takes about 8 hours in total. It is a difficult route, suitable only for hikers who are fit and not afraid of heights. Avoid it on rainy days or when there is snow.
