Mountain refuge Refugio de Gola

At the head of the Guingueta d'Áneu, next to the road of stany de la Gola and within the scope of Parc Natural de l'Alt Pirineu , Gola Refuge It fits mainly on mountain tours with a journey logic. Its position, about 2100 meters away, places it in a strip where the land already has a clearly alpine character and where the shelter can serve to fail long days or to gain height before linking steps and hills of the area.

It is especially useful for mountaineers who move on continuity routes, rather than for a short walk. In this sector, references such as Porta del Cel , several stages of the HRP , the route of the Port of Salau or the link of Tavascan to the Coll of Tavascan, so its value is to function as intermediate support within open routes, with distance and variable level according to the chosen route. It can also make sense as a basis for moving towards nearby summits of the Mont-roig , Walk me or pic de la Gallina , always within a high mountain context where the orientation, weather and state of the ground weigh more than the closeness in a straight line.

It is appropriate to plan with autonomy. Although several invented sources appear in the area, the nearest ones are more than 4 km away, so it is not wise to have immediate water next to the shelter without prior confirmation. In a passing area like this, exposed to rapid time changes and long walkways between valleys, it is reasonable to arrive with sufficient water, food and equipment for mountain terrain, especially if used as a link between stages or as a starting point to higher levels.
