Are you a hiking enthusiast looking for a new challenge?
This hut-to-hut trek is perfect for avid hikers who seek to experience the raw beauty of Northern Spain's most iconic mountain range. From the moment you arrive in Sotres, you're thrust into a world of towering peaks, verdant valleys, and secluded mountain refuges.
You’ll tackle rocky paths and steep climbs with the Torre de los Horcados Rojos as your backdrop, eventually reaching the Refugio Collado Jermoso. The rugged terrain challenges your every step, but with each climb, you're rewarded with vistas that seem to stretch into eternity.
As you climb higher, rugged peaks rise dramatically against the sky, with the iconic Naranjo de Bulnes standing tall in the distance.
The vantage points offer sweeping scenes of jagged ridges and deep valleys, where the sunlight plays across the landscape, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of shadows and light. The descent brings softer, more tranquil views of verdant valleys and ancient glacial formations, making every step a visual delight.
To recover from your hikes, you’ll spend the nights in cozy mountain refuges like Vega de Urriellu and Collado Jermoso, where the stars shine brighter and the silence is only broken by the wind whispering through the peaks, and feel yourself establish a deeper connection with nature.
We take care of all the logistics so you can focus on the adventure. From booking your accommodations to providing detailed itineraries and customer support, we ensure your journey is as smooth as it is unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ratings & Reviews


We had great experience with the Triglav Tours team. They were always available, responsive and helpful. They arranged our trip during high season and managed to find solutions were other agencies did not. Thank you Eva and the entire Triglav Tours team!


I have a lot of experience hiking in the mountains but still chose to book a guide, as I have neither the gear nor experience in via ferrata climbing. It turned out to be a really good idea! Prior to the trip, I had contact with the organizer and a video call where I could ask questions, which provided a good basis for deciding which trip was right for me. We were three women + our guide Jakob. On day 2, we started very early before sunrise, which gave us a bit more space on the trail and the pleasure of watching the sun rise over the mountain. Jakob was incredibly good at making our small group function, even though our levels were quite varied. I have a fear of heights, but I didn't feel unsafe at all. It was really nice that there was time to clip us into the wire. Back at the cabin, we had breakfast before heading back down towards the car. An absolutely fantastic trip that requires good physical fitness.

The Tour du Mont Blanc was easily one of the most memorable trips I’ve taken in years. From breathtaking views and warm, welcoming people to delicious food and charming mountain huts, every aspect of the journey was unforgettable. The hikes were significantly more challenging than I had anticipated, but the reward was well worth the effort. I can’t overstate how much smoother and more stress-free the experience was thanks to Hut to Hut’s incredibly detailed guides. Having accommodations pre-booked, access to a well-designed GPS trail map, and a comprehensive guide outlining what to expect, what to pack, and what to watch out for made all the difference. If you’re considering hiking the TMB, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Hut to Hut. Their support turned a great adventure into an exceptional one.
