Mountain refuge Abri pique-nique de la cote 820

This coat fits better as a step support than as a destination in itself. It is located in the Miellin sector, now integrated in Servance-Miellin within the middle mountain of Alto Saona, at the southern end of the Vosgos. The relief around it combines forest lomas, orientation changes and rounded heights, with close references such as La Côte 820 , Le Mont Cornu or the elevation of Le Ballon which already marks a more open and exposed environment. At about 780 meters of altitude, it does not respond to the pattern of the alpine Pyrenees, but it does respond to that of a useful coat on a long day, especially on wet, fresh or windy terrain according to the station.

His practical interest is in the network of itineraries that cross this part of Burgundy-Franco County. In the vicinity, long-range routes such as the GR 7 , GR 59 , GR 501 and GR 533 , in addition to regional paths that allow to link crest, soft hills and secondary valleys. So, Abri picqué-nique de la colte 820 can function as an intermediate point in long journeys or as a point guard during a stage, rather than as a basis for ascension. It should be put forward with a logic of autonomy: the nearest source is just over 2 km, so it is not reasonable to have immediate water next to the coat. In a forest and half mountain terrain, where meteorology can close visibility and cool fast even without high altitude, it is also prudent to review mapping, foresight and alternative descent before leaving.
