La Ragua Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located right at the highest point of the Raga pass (2000 meters), the Ragua refuge is a mountain refuge with a guard and capacity for 32 bunk beds.

Currently (September 2023) it remains closed and waiting to carry out renovations in the facilities, which had been very deteriorated due to lack of maintenance.

La Ragua Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This port is one of the most famous in the area for local cyclists. It is also a privileged place for bird watching and for enjoying good nature walks. In winter it becomes a very popular place for cross-country skiers.

Puerto de la Ragua

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The port of La Ragua is two thousand meters above sea level, a great height to start a race through the mountains of the Sierra Nevada National Park, going through peaks, forests and hills with magnificent views and paths ideal for trail running. In winter it is a Nordic ski resort. The port is on the border of the provinces of Granada and Almería and there are good trail routes on both sides. This time the route leaves the car park to the west in search of the Cuerda de los Morrones, on the Granada side. The path crosses the meadows of the port and continues along the path marked with the wooden milestones of the Sulayr GR-240 Trail. At the edge of the pine forest, the main path turns to the right and the long-distance path continues straight ahead along the slope of the Maja Caco ravine. The little sticks of the trail climb up the terraces of the pine trees and soon enter the territory of the Nevadan mid-mountains.

April 12, 2025,El Chullo

The weather forecast called for storms and heavy rain, but the activity was already organized, the accommodation was booked, and we weren't going to miss a weekend in the high mountains. As expected, the forecast came true, and on Saturday we set out amid thunder and light rain that soon intensified, and we started to get wet. Because of this, …
