Route description
This short but intense route will allow the younger ones to introduce themselves in the exciting world of trail running while visiting some of the most picturesque spots around Alquézar.
The track begins climbing up, fi rst to the Baseta and then to Basacol and Chimiachas. The fi rst section of the climb is easier and follows a nice paved street. The second part is more rocky and it’s shared with a small water pipe that we must sidestep to protect our ankles. Once at the Payuala bridge, the trail continues climbing some steps until Basacol pools, higher point of the route. After passing by the pools, the trail descends by a rocky pedrestian path until San Lucas col. From there, another rocky but short trail leads to Alquézar village, where we will stroll a bit along the streets before reaching the starting point.

Alcanadre Trail. Bierge

Type of route: circular
Starting point: Bierge
KM: 20,6

Route description
This circular route with amazing panoramic views visits some interesting natural spots like Fuente de La Tamara (water spring) and the impressive Peña Falconera, better known as Huevo de Morrano. But be careful: near La Tamara the trail crosses the river by some stepping stones and it’s mandatory to wet your feet. You must also pay special attention to the water level before crossing. For this reason it’s recommended to follow the route in anti-clockwise direction.
The fi rst half of the trail follows the Camino Natural del Somontano in north direction, in parallel to Alcanadre river. After passing under Huevo de Morrano, the route diverts from the Camino Natural and heads to Morrano and San Román by forest and dirt roads. Near San Román there’s another path that quickly descends to Salto de Bierge, from where the route fi nally returns to Bierge by the Camino Natural.
