Mountain refuge Cabane Aron

Cabane Aron at 1,550 m of altitude in the Saint- Lary , is located on a half-mountain pirenaic slope very useful for those looking for an intermediate coat between the bottom of valley and crest. The landscape combines pastures, open forest and rounded reliefs that, within walking distance, become more mountainous towards the peaks like the Pic de la Calabasse (2,210 m) or Pic de l'Har (2,424 m). The position of the shelter helps to focus well on the Bores , with several possibilities of progression to close cords and hills.

As an approach, the terrain of this area usually alternates tracks, grass trails and more inclined sections by gaining height, without the need for alpinism but with a reasonable physical condition if it is to link summits. From the cabin, close targets like the Pic de Paumaudé , only 1.08 km in a straight line, or Cap de Gauch at 3.83 km, they allow for short or medium outputs with concentrated levels. The Tick of Nédé and Pic de Sérau They also expand the options for quieter or more recognisable days.

The Cabane Aron It works well as a base camp to explore the crest of the Vallée du Biros and to link large routes. It is not far from the passage of the trails that follow the GR 10 crossing and can also fit into broader plans such as Circular Val d'Aran or Setau Sagèth especially if you are looking for a variant or a night of protection on a long route through the central Pyrenees.

In logistics, it is necessary not to rely on water within the shelter itself: although there are several sources in the environment, the nearest ones are just over 2 km, so it is worth arriving with sufficient reserve and confirming flows in dry times. It is also recommended to provide for rapid changes in time, because in this mountain strip the fog and the wind can greatly harden a seemingly simple day.
