Mountain refuge Abri du col du Roure

In col du Roure , within the Ribeyret and Provençal baronnies , this coat appears on a modest level on paper, 953 meters, but on a roof the practical feeling changes: open terrain, between sides and greater exposure to the wind, to the fog or to a rapid change of time. Abri du col du Roure it fits more as a transit guard than as a destination in itself, useful when the day is extended, the orientation is complicated or it is appropriate to cut stage before losing height to another valley.

Your mountain interest is in position. The collate works as a clear reference of navigation with map within this corner of the Altos Alpes, in an area of scattered communes such as Ribeyret, Sorbiers or Saint-André-de-Rosans. From here it makes sense to travel around, from short itineraries like Maraysse up to longer drawn as Bonnet Rouge , Le Duffre or the GR 94 on the journey of Vaunières al Col des Praux. It can also fit into a broad-stage logic in the Tour des Baronnies provençales where an intermediate coat helps to manage time, tiredness or weather without forcing the descent to a inhabited core.

This should be raised with autonomy. There are no immediate water points next to the coat and the nearest registered source is more than 4 km away, sufficient distance to not have refueling on the go. Therefore, if this free shelter is used as a support, it is reasonable to arrive with determined water and with margin before cold, wind or rain on the hill. On stable days it can serve to divide a journey; with uncertain meteum or just light, its value increases above all as a reference of passage and point coat in an area where exposure weighs more than absolute altitude.
