Mountain refuge La Grange du Gibertès

La Grange du Gibertès fits well as an intermediate crossing stop. In the surroundings of Le Buisson, about 1100 meters, it works mainly as a support in a day of transition through the open reliefs of Lozère, where the land does not reach alpine character but can become demanding when the wind, fog or rain change. Its interest is growing because of the closeness of long-distance itineraries such as the Tour des Monts d'Aubrac and the stage CSG 01 Aumont-Aubrac - Nasbinals , which makes it a useful reference for dividing march, reorganizing stages or looking for shelter on a wide cross-section.

The immediate landscape combines moderate lomas and elevations, with close references such as the Pic de Mus, enough to understand that orientation and meteorology can influence more than its altitude suggests. In unstable days it is necessary to present a prudent logistics here: to review foresight, not to be trusted with exposure in open areas and to have a margin of autonomy. For water, there is a source very close to the shelter, a practical data if route is being linked, although in mountain it is always sensible to confirm its real state before depending on it. More than as an isolated destination, this shelter makes sense as a functional point within a journey or a long march along the roads of Aubrac and its periphery.
