GR 18 - Ribagorza Path

The GR 18 - Ribagorza Path is a 136.52 km difficult multi-day route with 4,790 m of climbing, so it is usually planned as a full backpacking trip rather than a single outing. The official Ribagorza trail network divides the GR 18 into five stages, beginning in Fonz and continuing north through places such as Juseu, Caladrones, Cajigar, Bonansa, and Aneto.

The GR 18 - Ribagorza Path starts in Fonz in Huesca Province and runs south to north across Ribagorza. The route begins with the Fonz to Juseu stage and continues through villages including Tolva, Cajigar, and Bonansa before finishing at Aneto in the Pyrenees.

The GR 18 - Ribagorza Path is split into five stages on the Ribagorza trail network. The published stages include Fonz to Juseu at 24.63 km, Juseu to Caladrones at 21.745 km, and Caladrones to Cajigar at 31.095 km, with the route then continuing north via Bonansa to Aneto.

Early on, the GR 18 - Ribagorza Path climbs out of Fonz through the Sierra de la Carrodilla, passes the Ermita de la Virgen de la Carrodilla, and goes near the summit of Buñero at 1,108 m before reaching Juseu. Farther on it passes Purroy de la Solana, Pilzán, the Ermita de Terrés, Tolva, Luzás, Castigaleu, and the valley of the Río Cajigar.

Yes. The GR 18 - Ribagorza Path has a signed variant called GR 18.1, and the split begins on the Juseu to Caladrones stage at La Cogulla. GR 18.1 runs in parallel through the Isábena valley, visits places linked to Ribagorza Romanesque heritage, and later rejoins the main GR 18 farther north.

Yes. The Ribagorza trail network publishes downloadable GPX and KML files for the GR 18 - Ribagorza Path by stage rather than as a single one-file trek. Available downloads include Fonz to Juseu, Juseu to Caladrones, Caladrones to Cajigar, and Bonansa to Aneto, which matches the route’s staged multi-day layout.
