Park in the large car parks in Torla. Take the shuttle bus to the Pradera car park, the starting point for the hike.
(S/E) Start heading east and cross the Rio Arazas on the Pont des Cazadores (Hunters' Bridge).
(1) At the end of the bridge, rejoin theGR®®11, also known as the Senda de los Cazadores (Hunters' Trail).
Then begin a steep but easy climb that ends at the Mirador de Calcilarruego.
It's worth stopping here to take in the splendid view.
(2) From there, the hike is long but almost horizontal, heading east-southeast then east. The magnificent trail runs below the Faja de Pelay and overlooks the Rio Arazas throughout. A few buildings line the trail, some made of wood, others of stone.
(3) Next, reach the Fuente Fria o del Abé.
(4) Begin a very slight descent towards the Gradas de Soaso.
(5). Continue this descent to reach the Soaso Bridge.
(6) Before the bridge, ignore the paths on your right, as these are the routes that lead to the Goritz Refuge and then to Monte Perdido.
Cross the Rio Arazas on the bridge and immediately turn left onto the wide path on the right bank of the Rio Arazas.
(7) Walk alongside the Soaso shelter.
(8) Then walk between the remarkable stone walls, which are slightly spaced apart.
(9) You will then reach the wide track that provides quicker access for supplies to the refuge. Stay on this track, which joins and then leaves the Rio Arazas again. After a long walk, you will reach the Cotatuero Bridge.
(10) Do not cross the bridge; continue along the track until you reach the Casa Guarderia, which is just before the car park (S/E)
(S/E) Take the bus back to Torla.
