Les estagnous Mountain refuge

The refuge is located in the Mont Valier nature reserve, an iconic Couserans peak in the heart of the Ariege Pyrenees Regional Nature Park.

In the midst of this unspoilt, wild mountain landscape, after a 4-hour walk along the cross-border GR from the Pla de La Lau car park, we welcome you to the "Les Estagnous" mountain refuge.
As soon as you arrive, you can introduce yourself to the warden(s) and discuss the "welcome arrangements" (obviously you have booked your overnight stay and/or meals in advance).
Once you've had a rest and taken in the exceptional views, you'll go through the hikers' entrance to settle in according to the wardens' advice and, last but not least, you won't miss dinner! There's just one service for everyone, at 7.30pm!
There are many hiking itineraries and multi-day tours. Summits, lakes and valleys offer a wealth of choices, not forgetting the summit of Mont Valier, just 1 hour from the refuge.
