The refuge experience
The refuge experience, it is the practice of hiking supported by the warm welcome of the refuge keepers, but also the meeting and sharing of emotions with other hikers, the surpassing of oneself and the beauty of the landscapes which is the guarantor of a great site of France.
The guarded mountain huts are high altitude accommodation. They allow to roaming hike (from one refuge to another) or as a star (with day loop hikes). The huts also have an on-site or take-out catering and drink service.
The highlight of this experience is undoubtedly The Canigó Tour. It is a hiking tour that allows you to go around the Canigó Massif in 6 days and 5 stages, based on the 5 refuges that allow you to eat, sleep in the evening and provide a packed lunch. You can do it on your own or with a guide or with luggage carried from refuge to refuge.
