Mountain refuge Cabane inférieure du Lurien

Lurien and mountain valleys

Cabane inférieure du Lurien appears as a basic support in the vallon du Lurien, above Laruns 1697 meters. With the data available, the most useful thing to plan is its position on the French side of the Ossau valley, on a land already clearly mountainous and close to the axis of the Portalet . The environment fits with an open mountain, high slopes and fast connection with more severe heights, under the close reference of Le Lurien and with the profile of Pic du Midi d'Ossau dominating much of the sector.

Point of passage more than service shelter

By location, this mountain shelter in the Lurien sector can serve to fail long days or to link crossing routes across the Ossau valley. In the area they pass through an entity such as the HRP , Voie d'Ossau and the circuit of Tour du Pic du Midi d'Ossau , so your paper fits better as an intermediate coat within a wider itinerary than as an isolated destination. You may also have an interest in ascension or links to the hills and crest of the environment, always within a logic of autonomy.

The day should be organized with caution. There are no immediate sources registered next to the cabin and the nearest one is more than 4 km away, so it is not reasonable to have secure water in the direct environment. In an area exposed to rapid time changes and with limited information about the shelter, it is wise to arrive with sufficient water, mountain material according to altitude and a clear plan of withdrawal or continuation according to weather, visibility and state of the land.
