사비냐니고‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

A good place to rest. Refurbished and in use in 2026.

- The hut was open (September) - There are beds without sheets - Firewood and water were available - A water source was also nearby (a 5-minute walk) - If you speak Spanish, you can chat with the sheepherder. He's a very nice guy :)

In the vicinity of the Torbillón pass and the López Huici military refuge, already at 2,000 metres and in a typically alpine environment, there are spectacular panoramic views of the Aragón and Aísa-Borau valleys, highlighting their highest peaks (Collarada, Aspe, Lecherines).

Pepe Garcés' refuge is located in the heart of the Aragón valley, in Candanchú. It has 46 places in four and six-bed rooms and has all the comforts. It also has a bar service.

The crossing of the Campon stream marks the entrance to the beautiful Lecherines Bajo sheepfold or Plano de la Balsa, a highland plain of pastures surrounded by a magnificent crown of limestone ridges and stone towers. The sheepfold is splendid in a grandiose cirque of glacial origin; before arriving at it, it does not seem that a plateau of such proportions could exist at the foot of the peaks. And it is very welcoming, in the centre there is a shelter and nearby is the cattle watering trough. In winter there are no flocks, everything is covered in snow, there are bushes scattered between the white hills and frozen corridors cutting the snow ramps to the edge of the mountains. In one of the channels, near the Peña Blanca pass, is the Lecherines ice cave, a grotto to visit in spring, when the combination of cold and thawing creates sculptures and ice columns inside the cavity. The route ends at the porch of the Lecherines Bajo Shelter enjoying the warm rays of the midday sun. The GR-11.1 trail continues straight ahead and climbs towards Lecherines Alto and the López Huici Military Refuge, near the Magdalena pass.

The path passes by Fuente de los Abetazos and continues along the Villanúa forest track towards the Gabardito sheepfold. On the Carnicerías mountain there is a monumental pine tree at the turn-off for the Carnicerías peak (1,464 m). The path post indicates ten minutes to the metal house that marks the summit, but with snow the time is unpredictable because the terrain is uncomfortable and chaotic. The visit to the summit is worthwhile to contemplate the Canfranc Valley from a bird's eye view. The track returns to the main path at the giant tree and at the edge of the forest there is the post that indicates the entrance to the Gabardito sheepfold, just after passing the start of the descent path through the pegs of the Agüare ravine. The mountain becomes friendly and welcoming, there are no trees and in the clearing the eastern towers of the Aisa mountain range appear for the first time during the climb. The path continues straight ahead along the GR-11.1, the milestones are usually covered by snow and the reference is the Gabardito Refuge. The long-distance path passes by the refuge but the footprint can be on any side seeking to soften the hill of the sheepfold to enter the Añaza ravine and begin the second section of the route. The red and white marks of the path are painted on the trunks of the trees and in some places they take a while to appear, it is advisable to follow the virtual line of the track or follow the footprint opened by the passage of other mountaineers when possible. The path skirts the mountain inside a pine forest for a kilometre and new steep slopes begin to avoid the Campon ravine, on the edge of the Western Valleys Natural Park.

Great accommodation and very friendly owners!

Small refuge that is located on one of the ridges near the Ibón de Piedrafita and that also allows us to fully see the northern side of the Sierra de Partacua.
