Description

The Forronías Waterfall is a 45-metre fall in the Forronías ravine, near Panticosa (Huesca), in the Tena Valley. The water plunges down a limestone wall in a mountain forest setting, making it one of the most accessible waterfalls in the area since the Panticosa walkways were installed.

The route starts from Panticosa village and follows the pedestrian walkways that border the Caldarés river ravine. The Forronías waterfall is one of the most photogenic points along the route. The full circular route via walkways and waterfall is about 5-6 km with moderate elevation gain.

The Forronías ravine is also a classic canyoneering route with chained rappels and water sections — but the waterfall can be viewed from the walkways without technical equipment.

Panticosa is a historic spa town with the Balneario de Panticosa 8 km away (1,636 m). The waterfall combines well with the village walkways, the spa or a day at Formigal.
