Llesp is ideally situated as a nodal point for many rambling routes recently
recovered or in the process of being reclaimed. It is a centre for undertaking numerous
activities. We are in the path of the Water Route (Camí de l'Aigua) that runs
between Pont de Suert and Caldes de Boí. We are also a staging post for the Pedals de
Foc bike's route (Pedals of Fire).
Within a radius of 20 km you will find a plethora of beauty spots such as The National Park of Aigüestortes, Posets-Maladeta in Aragon, the Vall de Besiberri or the Cavallers Dam, one of the best and most visited climbing areas of the country. The Salencar Park is a mere 5 km away in Barruera. Pont de Suert is yet another point for many trekking routes and lovely walks. Bird watchers can visit the bearded vulture's natural habitat around Escales, where you can practice nautical sports, and the Vall de Barraves. |
