(0h0min; 0 kms) Candanchú (1.536m). You head down the station road until you come to the markings for the Camino de Santiago – which you follow for the next 3 kilometres – just before a big bend. You leave behind the last apartment blocks and come to a small road that crosses the river Aragón and leads to the main road. Turn left, cross the road and follow a wide path towards a small hill top, leaving to your right a telecommunications aerial. Walk down the path to Anglasé house, where you will join a path that comes from the road and heads towards Canal Roya.

(0h45min; 2.6 kms) Chimenea del Anglasé (1.380m). These are the ruins of an old copper and iron foundry that operated in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 3 minutes you pass the crossing, where to the right the Camino de Santiago and the variant of the GR11 via canal de Izas separate. Walk on until you reach the Fuente del Cerezo (15'), then leave the track (3') for a path on the right and cross the river via a small footbridge. You now head up the valley on the left-hand side.

(1h50min; 5.9 kms) Refugio de Lacuars o de Canal Roya (1.565m). The condition of this shelter constantly gets poorer and poorer. Keep walking up the valley, following a series of pine woods, until they give way to open fields. You will then have reached...

(3h05min; 9.4 kms) Plano de La Rinconada (1.870m), an idyllic grassland – the backdrop of a glacial cirque – at the foot of the imposing Pico de Anayet. The path winds to the right of a waterfall in search of more suitable ground on the way up to the lakes, until it eventually reaches the upland valley which opens out to the right. The path now heads to the left (se) in search of the...

(4h00min; 11.5 kms) Anayet Lakes (2.225m). Cross the grassy plain – waterlogged – until you reach the other side of the lake where the Culivillas Ravine opens out. The path, well-marked, rapidly descends and frequently crosses the stream that keeps you company (there is no need to cross it the first time).

(5h10min; 15.1 kms) Ski Resort - Zona Anayet (1.750m). A road, which is closed to traffic outside of skiing season, reaches this sizeable car park. You follow it as far as road A-136 (2 kilometres; you can avoid the first 350m by taking the skiing piste to the left). Once you reach the A-136 - puerto del Portalet road – continue right (descent, 3 kilometres) until you come to the Formigal junction (roundabout). Head up towards Formigal and go straight ahead/right at the next roundabout, leaving the village on the left.

(6h20min; 20.3 kms) Formigal (1.513m). About 300m after the roundabout, there is a path on the right (it frequently crosses the Formigal-Sallent de Gállego road) that leads you without difficulty to...

(7h05min; 23.8 kms) Sallent de Gállego (1.288m).
