Itinerary description

Vall de Ruda - Refugi de Saboredo - Estany de Miei - Estany de Naut - Port de Ratera - Tuc de Ratera (2862 m) - Estanys de Saboredo - return

Clear, well-marked route all except the excursion on the way back to the Estanys de Saboredo - here there is no trail or route markers though once you get to the shores of Lac Major de Saboredo there is a faint path to follow.

NOTE: my garmin watch recorded the distance as 17.53 and 1212 m elevation gain - just for reference for planning as the wikiloc recording is not as accurate.

Right to Estanys de Saboredo

Leave established route to head right towards the Estanys de Saboredo. No trail or rock cairns on this section but with the lakes as a visual destination it is fairly straight forward.
