CAUTION: The Coll de Jou descent to Ansalonga is very straight but has lots of roots. Particular caution must be exercised, especially on rainy days or when there is a lot of humidity.

Start the route to Ordino in front of the parish council building, walking the first approximately 500 m by road, until reaching the Ansalonga roundabout, where you will cross a wire fence to continue on the path, first through meadows, and then following the Ruta del Ferro to Arans.

In the village, you will cross the river and the road and begin the ascent to Coll de Cases, always along the path and on a constant slope. Follow the GR to Coll de Cases, where you will turn left following the indications of the signs and the yellow points, starting on a ridge path through trees that’s a lot of fun and will take you to Coll de Jou.

At the hill you’ll find a sign, and to the left you’ll begin the rapid, technical descent to Ansalonga, where you’ll need to be very careful with the roots and the steep slope. Once you reach the road, go back a few metres until you cross the river at the village bandstand, and then retrace the initial stretch by road back to the starting point.
