From the barrier will follow the track of the Guarrinza until this approximates at the end of the valley where will have to rise a short but strong desnivel in zigzag to arrive until a small shelter of shepherds, is the Achar of Waters Tuertas. The sights of the valley that have left backwards from this point are spectacular, but those that have to in front are sublime.
This step gives access to the valley of marked character glacier of Waters Tuertas, designated like this because in this point the river describes some characteristic meanders. Here it produces the birth of the Aragon Subordán, that discurre in zigzag still looking for the straight course. Before following the course can surround by his base the hump in whose slope assent the shelter rightwards and will find the dolmen of Waters Tuertas.
The route to Estanés continues crossing all this valley to the end. We will go by the right crossing some big blocks of stone, at the beginning, until arriving at the end of the valley, to the brook of the Wheel that will have to vadear.
After crossing the river will trace back some soft slopes by GR-11, turning eastwards (left) to arrive to the port of Escalé (the step to France of less height of the zone).
The way follows of natural form to France but we will have to take a bifurcation to the right that it will carry us to a channel very empinada, after having it surpassed only will subtract us go down to the ibón (natural lake) by a channel diverting us of the GR-11 (that bordea the ibón by the right) a bit further down. (1.777 m.).
In this zone in addition to the beauty of the lake will observe with sigilo packs of horses, as well as groups of sarrios.
The return realises by the same senda.
