Visiting the medieval bridge of San Nicolas de Bujaruelo (13th century), refreshing yourself in the river and having a drink on the terrace of the refuge is undoubtedly a good plan, but any reward tastes better after a short walk, like this one. a simple excursion that you can do with your children to the Otal valley.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy routes in the valley of Bujaruelo<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the surroundings of Bujaruelo, surrounded by such mountains, finding easy routes that we can do with children is not easy. Among the most affordable options are usually to follow a section of the GR11 up or down the valley following the course of the Ara, to visit the valleys of Otal and Ordiso, or to climb the Ib\u00f3n de Bernatuara, although the latter involves a 1,000-metre drop that may be too much for parents :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Route summary:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surely, the best option for a route with children in the Bujaruelo area -short (between 4.8 and 10.2 kms if we go to the Otal hut) and with a low gradient (330 metres)- is the one that visits the Otal valley.<\/strong>. A beautiful U-shaped glacial valley where cattle graze freely in the summers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route is very simple and can be done in a different way to the one we propose here, going up along the right bank of the river (left of the walk) taking advantage of the shortcuts on the track; and descending along the left bank of the river Ara, following the GR11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
