You’ll be rewarded for your efforts as soon as you reach the Col d’Espingo. Follow in the footsteps of hikers on the GR10, the legendary trail that crosses the Pyrenees from east to west. From Lac d’Oô, the GR10 then heads towards Hourquette des Hounts secs, Coume de Bourg and Superbagnères.
The refuge, built in 1925, is sure to satisfy hunger and thirst!
Start just after the restaurants on a wide track through the forest, pass the roche souffrée and follow the path up to Lac d’Oô and the guarded refuge. Follow the GR10 signs to the Col d’Espingo, then continue straight on to reach the Lac d’Espingo and its guarded refuge.
Please note: no swimming in mountain lakes.
The location of the Espingo refuge makes it ideal for exploring the mountain environment. Bordered by the Lacs d’Espingo and de Saoussat, it is the scene of many a mountaineer, angler, hiker and nature lover…
So, whether you’re on your own, with your family or with friends, we invite you to come up on stage and share the show with us.
