Valle de Otal
A high glacial hanging valley beside Bujaruelo, with flat alpine meadows, winding streams and waterfalls, an easy scenic hike.
The Otal Valley is a glacial hanging valley on the western side of the Ara Valley. Its floor is a flat, open alpine meadow with a stream winding through it. Cattle and horses graze here in summer, and limestone peaks and waterfalls surround it, making for a tranquil, picture-perfect scene. From Bujaruelo or a roadside parking spot, the round trip takes about 3 to 4 hours on a gentle gradient, suitable for families. You can continue uphill to Otal Lake. The light is most beautiful in the evening on clear days.
