Gradas de Soaso
A staircase-like cascade where the Arazas River tumbles down in tiers across a gentle slope, the most photogenic stretch along the Cola de Caballo route.
The Gradas de Soaso lie in the upper part of Ordesa Valley, where the Arazas River drops step by step over limestone terraces, forming a staircase of cascades several hundred meters long, flanked by towering cliffs and pine forest. It is about 2.5 hours on foot from Ordesa Meadow. Beyond here, roughly another hour brings you to the Soaso cirque, where Cola de Caballo falls. Several viewpoints line the trail, good for rest and photos. The Prime Meridian also passes nearby.
