The refuges of the Pyrenees

Many other shelters are scattered over the Pyrenees chain, in valleys more beautiful than the others. Some are world famous because they are located at the foot of famous peaks! This is the case with the Oulettes de Gaube refuge, at the foot of Vignemale, or the Sarradets refuge, at the foot of the Brèche de Roland in Gavarnie, or the Ledormeur refuge, at the foot of the Balaïtous.
