The trail starts by the old road opened by the hydroelectric company Enher, from the village to the azud of Aneto Morelló Llauset in the ravine, in which route we will pass by the view over the valley of the Noguera Ribagorzana and enjoy a path with a varied vegetation. From the azud (1h.15 'approximately) the path back again to the village by the canal that carries water to the forebay of the power plant of Senet. This channel offers stunning views of the valley and a slight slope, but the difficulty is in the narrowness of some points and the risk of rock falls in rainy days as it crosses a narrow strip in a stunning cliff. Once we got to the loading chamber is important to stay on the beaten path and be alert to the signs. Continuing along the canal path leads us back to the bottom of the village of Aneto.
