Renovated refuge at the foot of Port de Vénasque. Enjoy a night facing the Aneto in a warm, wooded setting, perfect for contemplating the peaks.
The Vénasque refuge, which will be completely renovated in summer 2023, is located in the Luchonnais at the foot of the Vénasque port.
The string of Vénasque boums (lakes) will help you relax before taking in the magnificent panoramic view of the Aneto from the port of Vénasque, a 1/2-hour walk away. If you’re feeling more sporty, head up to the Sauvegarde peak for a 360° view of the Luchonnais, the Posets and the Maladeta. The easy route will allow everyone to enjoy a hot meal or a cool drink, depending on the weather!
Partner of the Refuges en Famille Pyrénées network.
The accommodation comprises 3 dormitories: 4 beds separated by partitions, making a total of 12 beds.
2 showers (with a €3 token system, as the refuge is self-sufficient in water). Two dry toilets and 1 urinal.
A wood-burning stove in the dining room will keep you warm.
Outside the guarding period, reservations are now required for anyone wishing to stay overnight at the refuge, in order to reduce overcrowding and improve reception conditions.
The reliable payment of overnight stays also helps to finance the maintenance of the building and the consumables available on site. Reservations are made online via the “book” tab, excluding caretaking, and full payment is made at the time of booking, followed by confirmation by email.
