Mountain refuge Cabane de Serralonga

Useful reference between Les and the northern pirenaica side

The day should be raised with autonomy, especially by water: the registered sources are more than 3 km away, so it is not wise to have immediate supply next to the Cabane de Serralonga . This detail has a significant impact on planning, especially if it is used as a long-term support or as a step point in the middle and high mountain terrain of the Atlantic side of the Val d'Aran .

At 1687 meters, at the end of Les , this shelter fits well for mountaineers who move with map and seek a simple reference in the Mountains of Les and Bossòst, an area where the relief and the environment change with respect to other more mineral sectors of the Pyrenees. Their interest does not depend so much on short access as on their role within wider routes: this is where the environment of the Circular Val d'Aran (GR 211) and also connects with the logic of the journey of the GR 10 in the border sector. In this context, it can serve to divide effort, link valleys or give continuity to a route between medium and open lomas.

It also makes sense for anyone who wants to move around nearby like the Pic du Burat or the environment of Tic d'Angost not so much as a base for classical ascension, but as a support for itineraries that combine orientation, moderate level and field reading. The proximity of Cap des Agudes helps to understand that it is not an isolated point on a valley bottom, but a reference on a transit mountain. If you plan to use it to plan stage, it is reasonable to get out with enough water, to review meteorology and not to take for granted more services than those strictly known.
