Collado de Toronez d'as Cabretas

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A hill at an altitude of 1910 meters that separates the valleys of Aguas Tuertas and Los Sarrios. The climb, both from the northwest and from the Estanés lake, is demanding, but it is well worth the climb and to rest afterwards enjoying the views.
