Once you are here (see how to get there), start walking following the main path all the time, leaving the return path on the left as soon as you start. The track descends gently towards the head of the Benasa gorge (a protected area declared a Nature Reserve).<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe first two kilometres are on a slightly downhill track.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe path ends next to a wire fence, where a signpost indicates the path up to Ollate.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo the left to Ollate, to the right to the Benasa gorge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n(0h30min; 2,1kms) Start of ascent - path to Ollate (853m)<\/strong>. As soon as we start, the path forks. To the left you can go uphill on a narrow path marked with red tapes, and straight ahead on the main path you go uphill on a path marked with yellow tapes. The two paths join further up (0h55min; 3,2kms). We choose the main path, which runs through a thick forest with typical Mediterranean vegetation of holm oaks, pines, oaks and boxwoods, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPath to Ollate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter a while (1h20min; 4,3kms), the path comes out to an elevated clearing from where you can see the lowland of Ollate and the final stretch of the ascent to Borreguil.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEl Borreguil or Belb\u00fan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAt this point we join a wide path that descends towards the fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(1h30min; 4,6kms) Raso de Ollate - Balsa (1.082m).<\/strong> At the beginning of the raso, by the pond of Ollate, you leave the main path and continue without a path to the right along the forest line. The ascending path to Borreguil (1h35min; 4,9kms), indicated by a wooden signpost, you find it just after you meet a path that crosses a fence through a metal gate. The path ascends without confusion to the top of the hill through a nice forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe climb is constant on this stretch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n(2h30min; 6,7kms) Borreguil or Belb\u00fan (1.424m)<\/strong>. The views are exceptional to the south, but unfortunately, the trees almost completely cover the Pyrenees and the Foz de Burgui cannot be seen either.<\/p>\n\n\n\nViews to the SE. Pe\u00f1a Oroel, etc. can be seen in the background. Closer in the centre, the Sig\u00fces gorge between the Orba and Leire mountain ranges.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf we want to enjoy the full views, we have no choice but to descend in the opposite direction, following a path that refuses to go down and that runs all the time along the northern slope. The path is marked with all kinds of coloured paint and is somewhat confusing and quite uncomfortable in some areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA small window in the forest allows us to see the Pyrenees and the eastern wall of the Burgui gorge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt is not long but it takes a long time to reach the clearing (3h00min; 7.8kms) where the Pyrenees and the Foz de Burgui suddenly appear in all their splendour. We take the obligatory photos and change course.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHikers in ecstasy at the immeasurable beauty of this landscape. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPyrenees, Virgen de la Pe\u00f1a (1,294m) and southern entrance to the Burgui gorge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe path turns suddenly to the left and enters a forest again, where the size of the boxwoods is striking. The path is now easy to follow. We quickly descend to an area of fields, the raso de Legate, where we join the path....<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(3h30min; 9,3kms) Ca\u00f1ada Real de los Roncaleses (1.133m)<\/strong> which comes from the Puerto de las Coronas, near the Beata borda. Continue along the track on the left (west) following the tracks of the off-road vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFollowing the tracks along the Legate track.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAt the end of the track, after passing a pond that you leave on your right and next to the dolmen of Legate, you find a wide path that descends to the right (3h40min; 9,9kms). Continuing along the main path we return without any problems to the beginning of the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDownhill road.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n(4h20min; 12,8kms) Pil\u00f3n - Pista km 5 of the NA-214 (867m).<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Borreguil or Belb\u00fan (1,424m) is the highest peak in the Ill\u00f3n mountain range, on the border between Navarre and Zaragoza.
