Awful


Meadows and edges of Viadós. In the background you can see the west face of the Posets massif, the second highest mountain in the Pyrenees.

Viadós or Biadós is an area of ​​the Gistaín valley, located in the central Pyrenees and in the north of the Spanish province of Huesca. It is the northeast head of the mentioned valley and belongs to the municipal terms of Gistaín and San Juan de Plan, pertaining to the Aragonese region of Sobrarbe. In this zone passes the river Zinqueta in its high course.

This mountainous area is made up of a large meadow facing south. It is surrounded by black pine forests and there are small scattered houses, called edges by the locals, where they lived and stocked the grain grown there. This traditional practice is now in disuse. Currently there is a mountain shelter located at 1,760 meters of altitude. It is called Refugio de Viadós and is a very common point of departure for mountaineers who enter the Posets massif (3.371 m), which is the second highest of the Pyrenees and is to the east of Viadós. This mountainous area can be accessed by an unpaved forest track that leaves the town of San Juan de Plan.
