Ardonés Waterfalls

The Ardonés Waterfalls are a set of three cascading falls in the Ardonés ravine, between Benasque and Cerler (Huesca), in the heart of the Benasque Valley. Access is easy: from the A-2617 road up to Cerler, a signposted turn-off leads to a viewpoint from which all three falls can be seen dropping between granite rocks and pine forest.

The waterfalls are fed by snowmelt from the Maladeta massif peaks and are especially spectacular in spring (May-June) when flow is at its peak. In summer the water decreases but they remain photogenic.

The setting is a mountain ravine surrounded by black pine and fir forest, with views of the Pyrenean peaks. The area is habitat for the Pyrenean chamois (sarrio) and bearded vulture.

The visit combines perfectly with Benasque (10 min), Llanos del Hospital, the Forau d'Aigualluts or a ski day at Cerler.
