↔️ Distance: 13.9 km
📈 Unevenness (+745),(-1260) 📉
🕒 Time: 5h30min (walking time non-stop)
⚠️ Difficulty: A stage through high mountain terrain (frequent snow, unstable rocks...). The Tebarray pass can have snow until mid-August. In the last 50 metres the slope is around 40º, so the ice axe is recommended depending on the conditions. In winter, the access route to the Respomuso refuge may present a high risk of avalanches.
💧 Water: During the stage you will pass several streams and lakes where you can get water.
Suggestions: If you wish to organise the stages differently, you can spend the night in the new Bachimaña lakes refuge. An alternative to this stage is, once you are at the Bachimaña Alto lake-reservoir, to continue along the Bramatuero lakes, cross the Collado del Letrero pass and, via the Batanes lakes, descend to the Ara, where you join the main route on the next stage on the way to Bujaruelo. Another alternative is to extend the previous stage to the Bachimaña refuge and on the following day, link up with the next stage via the pipeline routewithout having to go down to the Panticosa Spa.
