It is easy; follow the road LU 633. It will less than 1 hour for 4 kms.
I noticed the road but given it is a main road I was not sure how safe it was to walk.
I met someone who had been in Perafita and wanted to walk to O'Cebreiro. He told me he was warned not to walk and to take a taxi. That was about 10 years ago so I do not know if things have changed. Locals usually know best.
We stayed there in October last year when we did our camino. We walked on the shoulder of the highway about half way down, and then there is a trail that short cuts off the 'roundest' part of the road. It was a better shoulder for walking than many other roads that the CF puts you on. The forest trail was very quiet. The way back in the morning felt quite steep to start the day, but it has a beautiful view, so well worth the walk. We would do it again without concerns.
There’ll likely be plenty of (un-bookable) beds in the Albergue that’d save you a steep downhill on tired legs and an equally steep hike back to the start of one of the Camino Frances’ bumpier days.
