To reach the refuge:

The main access road to the massif of the Cornión by the South. Departing from Soto de Sajambre, it leads to Frade and Vega Huerta, at the foot of the same Santa Peña.
Upon reaching Vegabaño we continue our way through the beech forest and cross the Dobra river. When leaving the forest we reach the Collado del Cueto.
The forest ends and we cross a stretch of thicket to the other pass (Horcada Salambre), where a little further up we will start to see the Frade refuge on the other side.
It is indicated by posters and by the PR-PNPE-9 and white and yellow horizontal markings.
Around the refuge is the source of the frade, and streams.
The refuge is located in the Picos de Europa, within the community of Castilla y León.
