Ordesa repeats Saturday’s scene: access closed from 9 a.m. due to visitor influx

Ordesa meadow closed its access again at 9 a.m. this Sunday due to the high number of visitors during the Pilar holiday weekend. The capacity of this area of Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park was exceeded again early in the morning, so access will remain closed throughout the day and will not reopen.
Ordesa repeats Saturday’s scene: access closed from 9 a.m. due to visitor influx

The situation repeats what happened on Saturday, October 10, when entry also had to be restricted from 9 a.m. after the maximum capacity of 1,800 people was reached. Favorable weather forecasts and the public holidays are encouraging numerous hikers to visit one of the most popular natural areas in the Aragonese Pyrenees.

Anyone planning to visit the area should take these restrictions into account and plan their trip in advance. The shuttle bus service between Torla and the Ordesa meadow will continue operating until October 18, although visitors are advised to check access conditions before setting out, as transportation does not guarantee entry once the permitted capacity has been reached.
