Itinerary description

Tuc de Saboredo (2,834 mts.) and Pic de Amitges (2,851 mts.) starting from the Valle de Ruda to the Refugi Saboredo, past Lac Major de Saboredo and Lac Glacat to the Coll de Lac Glacat. From here an out and back to ascend both Tuc de Saboredo and Pics de Amitges (Eastern and Western).
Return down past Refugi Mataro and through La Vall de Gerber to end at the Peülla car park (Bonaigua, Pallars Sobirà).

I rated this as a difficult hike for length, elevation gain and comfort route finding on the sections with less established trails.

NOTE: my garmin watch recorded the distance as 19 km and 1349m elevation gain - just for reference for planning as the wikiloc recording is not as accurate.

    Ruta muy interesante y tranquila. Hicimos ruta lineal del valle de Ruda hasta las cimas, desde el refugio de Saboredo. Muy bonita. Gracias por compartir!
