Approach stage to the Estós refuge from the Estós parking lot following the GR. Without any trouble, marked with GR signs. Essential stop at the Turmo cabin, which has become a tourist attraction because it was named in the song "April 20" by the mythical Celtas Cortos. Currently gthanks to a crowdfunding campaign carried out by the community of owners of Monte de Estós (Benasque, Huesca) It has been possible to obtain the necessary money to rehabilitate it and ensure that the shepherds can use it for the long periods of grazing.
The path from Cabaña de Turmo to the Estós Refuge enjoys spectacular views of the valley.
