From Capileira (Central Electrico):

Follow the left hand side of the Poqueira Gorge upwards gaining height gradually until the head of the gorge is reached after 2 hours. Here climb steeply up to Cortijo Thomas. Climb up the spur behind the cortijo until at about 2400m a traverse leftwards reaches the hut. Total time about 4 hours. This is normally the best approach in winter.

From Hoya del Portillo:

At the road end by the ranger station you can take the well marked path up through the forest. Above the forest a sign points the way traversing left along the hillside before a slight descent to the hut. Total time is 2.5 hours.

Alta de Chorillo and the Morador de Trevelez:

Take the same path from the Hoya de Portillo but on leaving the upper edge of the forest keep going up until the road is rejoined. Follow this until the Mirador de Trevelez is reached in 2 hours. 500m further on northwards take the left track which leads gently downhill to the hut. Total time 3 hours. We find this route a bit boring and it is normally better reserved for a speedy descent.
