From the parking lot of Sorteny we will enter the forest of the Rialb valley and follow the river along its right bank. The terrain is easy, but sometimes the lack of snow inside the wooded part can make it difficult to progress. Once we leave the forest, in the plateau of Rabassa, we will find on the right a more deforested area: it is the Font Freda valley, which can fall naturally in conditions of great instability. From this point until we reach the Rialb refuge we will be exposed to falling natural avalanches to the right and left.. In addition, the terrain configuration in this sector is unfavorable (trap terrain), since a small purge could bury us completely, so it is advisable to separate the group well. Once we reach the Rialb refuge, we will continue down the valley floor leaving the refuge on our right to the Rialb plateaus. From there we will start to flank the shovel that is left to us, gaining meters very gradually, until we reach a small esplanade from where we will see the Rialb gate. We'll continue to progress through the terrain with a slight slope to the neck.. Once we're on the neck, we'll put on our hooves and progress up the ridge to the peak of Besali. The descent can be done by the same path, or by the Varilles comma to the Castellar plateau
