Mountain refuge Cabane de la Goyët

Planning a trip through the Department of Alto Marne in the region of Great East needs to identify strategic support points such as Cabane de la Goyët . Located at an altitude of 365 meters at the end of Germaines , this structure is integrated into a half mountain environment and forest areas of the Langers . Its location is key to those who travel the GR 7 in particular in the section linking the Vosgos to the Pyrenees. The climate in this area of France often presents a persistent humidity, making this shelter a valuable resource for managing rest in long-distance days. When found on a low level, the surrounding terrain alternates between forest masses and valleys, offering a functional guard that facilitates the continuity of the itinerary without the demands of the great massizos.

The Cabane de la Goyët plays a key logistical role to divide extensive stages into local itineraries such as L'Ource or the route to La Tufière d'Amorey . Because it does not have immediate water sources - the nearest catchment is more than two kilometres away - water autonomy must be ensured before reaching this point. Its position allows to move fluently between the paths of Germaines and the forest tracks that connect with the Canton of Auberive . For the mountaineer that follows the route of GR 7 , this shelter allows to reorganize the march without the need to deviate from the main route. The design of the relief, without prominent summits in the vicinity, reinforces its utility as a link and support node for cross-roads that require a rigorous planning of the revival and the passing times through this sector of northeastern France.
