Sotres to Uriello Refuge via Pandebano Map

A lovely walk with a long continual climb to the largest refuge in the Picos de Europa; the Refugio de Vega Uriello. Nestled underneath the emblematic mountain Naranjo de Bulnes and with the sparse Uriello meadow close by, the refuge is in an amazing setting. There is a major track up to the car park just before the Pandebano col and a lot of people drive this far but the track is often in very poor condition. The walk from Pandebano onwards is fabulous albeit a long climb.

Difficulty

Moderate

Hiking along trails with some uneven terrain and small hills. Small rocks and roots may be present.
