Discover Saravillo: Holiday Apartments, Nature and Culture

Hiking

From Saravillo, the GR 15 hiking trail leads to the Labasar Refuge and onwards to Ibón de Plan, also known as Basa de la Mora; the return journey follows the same route. The audio guide route to the stone circles of Labasar also starts in Saravillo and can be completed by car or on foot.

The route from the Lavasar Refuge to Basa de la Mora is an easy 3.5-kilometre round trip that takes about two hours, with 80 metres of ascent and descent respectively; part of the GR 15 coming from Saravillo follows the same route. Distinguishing between length, duration, activity type and mode of transport helps you consider the hiking trail, round trip and audio guide route separately.
