Mountain refuge Cabane de la Collada de Meners

Cabane de la Collada de Meners it fits mainly as support on a long-distance journey. Its position, at 2675 meters, places it in a clearly alpine strip of Andorra, near the passage of the HRP and the GRP La volta a Andorra . In this context it functions as a stage cutting point, protected in case of time change or useful reference to reorganize the day on high ground. The closeness of the Pic de la Serrera less than a kilometer, it strengthens this character as a place of refuge for the hills and by way, in an area where the relief moves between crest, open slopes and exposed environment.

It can also serve as a support for itineraries that link with nearby summits such as the Pic de Ransol or the Casamanya whole, although its most clear role is that of a shelter linked to cross-border and inter-valley displacements. The altitude requires a changing weather, wind and thermal decline even in a favorable season. In the area of logistics it is appropriate to maintain a margin of autonomy: the nearest source located, Font dels Clots de la Llosa is about 1.5 km away, so immediate water should not be taken for granted by the shelter. In such a high and open area, any planning should include orientation, water reserve and ability to change the path if the fog or instability close the steps.
