Refugio Vivac La Carihuela (Routes 22, 23, 31, 32)

Situated at 3200m on the col (Collado de Carihuela) south of Veleta, this refuge is in a very good state with wooden bunks and a table. Sleeps 16. It’s especially useful in winter or during a summer traverse of Los Tres Miles. In early summer water may be found by dropping down the road to the east to melting snow streams dripping from rocks; in late summer an excursion to Laguna de Aguas Verdes may have to be undertaken.

Refugio Forestal La Cucaracha (Routes 25, 28)

Located at 1800m on the Cuesta del Calvario above the Río Genil, and given a makeover in 2014, this part-ruin provides adequate winter shelter and is useful for ski touring on the northern peaks. Sleeps 15–20. Access is from Güéjar Sierra and Vereda de Estrella. Water can be found at Fuente de los Lirios (10min south west down towards the river from the refuge – but remember there’s a 15–20min climb back!).

Refugio Peña Partida (Route 28)

This refuge lies at 2451m on the eastern shoulder of Loma de los Cuartos above the town of Güéjar Sierra. High snow level or a 4WD car is required to access Loma de los Cuartos to a car parking space with a chain across the track. It’s a 2hr walk from here. The refuge is in a good state of repair, with magnificent views to the northern faces of the Sierra Nevada. Wooden sleeping platforms were installed as part of a 2015 restoration. Sleeps 6; water can be found at a small natural spring 300m south east of the refuge at the upper end of Barranco de Peña Partida.
