Hello and welcome to What's not to Hike.
In this video, I meet up with my friend Slinky and we head to Vall de Nuria, on the Spanish and French Pyrenees border.
Having travelled for three hours, firstly from Home to Ribes de Freser, we then took the mountain train to Vall de Nuria, from where we would hike to Coma de Vaca mountain refuge and stay the night. This hike ended up being far more challenging than the Wikiloc app suggested, at times hanging onto cliff edges with just a steel rope to hold onto.
However, we couldn't have asked for better weather and eventually we made it to the refuge where warm soup followed by beef and rice (and beer and wine) awaited us.
A superb area and an excellent refuge, which also has a winter room to stay in for free, when the refuge is closed. It's very basic with sleeping platforms and a table but certainly a place I will visit again and stay.
Thanks again for watching and please consider subscribing if you're not already. I'm trying to reach 1000 subscribers by Christmas. Thanks!
