Mountain refuge Cabane de Roque Pi

On the Bores , within the term of Herran and in an unurbanized sector of the Alto Garona, the Cabane de Roque Pi It appears as a midway mountain coat with features already clearly pirenaic. It is not associated here with large identified routes or specific summits, so its practical interest is better understood by the surrounding terrain: forest slopes, paths with direction changes and a progression that can be made slower than its altitude, about 1,400 meters, suggests on paper. The name of the sentier des chèvres also points to a mountain-like access, more specific to a hillside path than to a comfortable and continuous track.

For those who plan the approach, it is appropriate to think about orientation and autonomy rather than distance. In this type of relief, the valley turns and the traverses under the slope can alter the perception of progress, especially with changing visibility or wet soil. The cabin fits better on strong hiking or quiet mountain exits with basic experience in reading the terrain than on an improvised excursion. A useful data for the logistics is the presence of a source at about 50 meters, very close to the shelter, in addition to another water point at just over 1 km; yet, in mountain it is appropriate to confirm the actual flow rate according to time and not to rely entirely on finding water in conditions. In the absence of information here on specific routes, links or equipment, it is reasonable to raise it as timely support in a remote area of Occitania, not as a centre of a defined network of itineraries.
