Bujaruelo Refuge

A refuge at the end of the valley

The Bujaruelo refuge stands beside the Romanesque bridge at San Nicolás de Bujaruelo, at the end of the track that climbs from the Puente de los Navarros, in the Bujaruelo valley. It is a stopping point on the GR 11 and the Alta Ruta de los Perdidos, between the Ordesa, Panticosa and Gavarnie valleys. It is not inside the National Park, so you can drive to it every day of the year without relying on the Ordesa bus.

It works as a mountain refuge with rooms, a restaurant and a bar, and also has a campsite, which in November 2026 is closed. The accommodation and restaurant announced they were open until 3 January 2027.

The rooms

There is everything from private rooms to long shared bunks:

• Double with a double bed, with private bathroom, sheets and towels included.
• For two, with one bunk bed and private bathroom.
• For four, with two bunk beds and a bathroom, shared.
• For six, with bunk beds and a full bathroom, shared.
• For fifteen, with a long bunk and a full bathroom: the cheapest way to sleep here.

In the rooms with bunk beds you need to bring a sleeping bag liner and towel; at reception they hire out a set of sheets and a duvet for €6. Guests have their own lounge. Room check-in is from 16:00, with online registration. It is best to book on their website, where they often post offers.

Eating

The restaurant works by reservation only. Lunches are in sittings at 13:30 and 15:00, and dinners at 20:00 or 21:00; the bar is open from 7:00 to 22:00. They cook with local produce: beef from the Broto valley, lamb from a Broto butcher's, longaniza sausage from Graus and cheese from the valley. The 2026 menu includes shepherd's migas with egg, grapes, chistorra and longaniza (€13.50), stewed beans with their accompanying cured meats, local lamb chops (€25), a 400 g sirloin of Broto valley beef (€25) and oxtail stew (€19), and spaghetti or a burger for children. They have dishes for people with allergies and intolerances.

Getting there and parking

From Torla, follow the road towards Ordesa to the Puente de los Navarros and take the forest track up the Bujaruelo valley: it is suitable for vehicles, but takes about 20 minutes. Halfway you pass a campsite; keep going to a large meadow, where the car park is. If you are going to spend several days in the mountains, leave the car in the designated area.

It is the base for the circular walk along both banks of the Ara and for continuing on the GR 11. For the Ordesa canyon, in season you have to take the Torla bus.
