Mountain refuge Abri de Tabilloux

Access and autonomy in the day

The approach to Abri de Tabilloux It should be raised with margin, more for the management of effort and logistics than for large alpine references. It is located in the environment of Fraissinet-de-Fourques , in Lozère within the scope of Covennes , an area where long tours and land changes weigh more on the day than the search for concrete summits. At 1206 meters, this coat fits as basic support for those who travel half a mountain isolated, link stages or need an intermediate point in several days of itineraries.

His interest is especially in the context of the journey. In the sector, routes such as the GR 7 , GR 60 , GR 66 the Tour du Mont Aigoual, the GR 67 and the Tour du Causse Méjan, in addition to the PR 17 of Les 4000 marches. That does not mean immediate access from all of them, but the coat can make sense within a broader planning in this part of Occitania, between small cores and open spaces of cévenole mountain. More than a destination in itself, it works as a step-by-step resource to distribute stages and avoid too long days.

The main practical precaution is water. The nearest invented sources are several kilometres away, with the first one about 5.8 km away, so it is not appropriate to have a supply near the shelter. On a route through this area it is reasonable to leave with sufficient autonomy and to review before the actual state of the night point and the accesses. It is also appropriate not to plan the day as a basis for ascension, as there are no clear references of nearby summits associated with the coat. In this case, the usefulness of the Abri de Tabilloux is more in offering shelter within a sober journey and well measure than in serving as camp for high objectives.
