Mountain refuge Abri de Saint-Côme

As you advance along the roads that link Saint-Côme-d 'Olt with the surroundings of Espalion and the lomas of Aveyron, the Abri de Saint-Côme It works above all as a reference of passage and withdrawal within a much more humanized terrain than alpine. It is in the rue Brulée, only 373 meters of altitude, within the town's centre marked by the historical passage of walking itineraries, so that it fits better in liaison days, soft voyages or half-distance trails than in mountain ascension. In this context, your practical interest is well understood when looking at the map: it is close to trace as the GR 620 and local tours such as Sentier Aubrac - Abbaye de Bonneval - Espalion, La Voie du Rail or La Boralde de de Flaujac, which places it in a useful network to reorganize the march, shorten a stage or resolve a retreat to the village.

The orientation in the area is relatively simple if the very core of Saint-Côme-d'Olt and the corridor to Espalion are taken as a reference, but it is appropriate not to confuse this coat with an isolated mountain shelter. Its value is in the transition between roads, rural heritage and wavy relief. For logistics, there is a very close source, about 130 meters, and another to just over 300 meters, a useful data to manage water without too far from the itinerary. However, since there are no details of equipment or conditions of use, it is reasonable to maintain basic autonomy and to check the state of the place before considering it as the main support of the day.
