Mountain refuge Cabanes de Beyrède

The feeling here is that of a half-mountain coat already somewhat separate from the comfortable accesses, on a pirenaic slope where the terrain begins to ask for effort management and attention to the rhythm. At 1,420 meters, in the surroundings of Beyrède-Jumet-Camous, Cabans of Beyrède fits better as a support point for a long day than as a simple walk through. Its position, on the side of the Pyrenees and near the Col d'Aspin , places it in a transition area between forest, high pastures and rounded reliefs that may seem nice on the map, but that in mountain force to measure well the rise, the weather and the return. The proximity of tops as Bassia sign o Cap de Castillon strengthens this open and exposed ground character as soon as height is gained.

From the practical point of view, this free haven can be used to fail routes or link routes of the sector, with trails that pass through the area like the Bouchle d'Espiadet , Tour des Baronnies de Bigorre , Voie d'Aure or Chemin du Piémont Pyrénéen . This makes it a useful place for both local and for those who seek an intermediate reference in a simple orientation day on paper but more demanding on the ground. It is necessary not to have immediate water next to the shelter: the nearest registered source is about 2.6 km, a distance sufficient to make it go out with autonomy. In an area like this, where time can change quickly and isolation increases as soon as the bottom of the valley is left, it is important to plan with margin, to review the specific access before leaving and not to take for granted equipment, supply or internal conditions.
