Mountain refuge Cabanes de Pédain

In this high part of Lescin at 1.590 meters, the coat is left in a land where time can change the day quickly and where the main reference is not so much the inhabited valley as the proximity of the lomas, the steps and the summits of the Larra- Belagua . Cabans of Pédain it fits into that type of mountain shelter that helps to read the ground before entering more open and exposed areas, with the close presence of Hiru Erregeen Mahaia and Pic d'Anie marking a clearly pyrenees and border context. It is also close to reliefs like Le Dec de Lhors, which reinforces its role as a support for itineraries that move between high pastures, lapiaz, hills and slopes where orientation and weather weigh more than the distance on the map.

From here are related several trails of the environment, such as the Tour du Belvédère, the Plateau de Sanchèse or the itineraries to the cabins and lakes of Lhurs and Ansaba, so that it can serve to divide a day or to order a road planning in the western sector of the Pyrenees bearnés. In practical terms, it is appropriate not to have more resources than those confirmed on the ground: there is a source located just over 1 km, a reasonable distance but sufficient to make the water think in advance, especially if the day comes warm or if it is planned to continue to higher levels. In the absence of useful data on internal equipment or services, it is prudent to propose the exit with autonomy, to review weather forecast and to take for granted no more protection than the volume of the shelter itself.
