accommodation
Refuge de Bastan
Nestled at an altitude of 2240m within the stunning Néouvielle Nature Reserve, Refuge de Bastan offers a rustic yet welcoming haven for hikers and mountaineers. It provides dormitory-style accommodation with basic facilities, focusing on an authentic mountain experience away from the bustling resort. Guests can enjoy hearty Pyrenean meals cooked on-site, perfect for refueling after a day of trekking. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during peak summer hiking season, as capacity is limited. It serves as a crucial stop on multi-day treks, offering incredible views of the surrounding high-altitude lakes (Lac de Bastan, Lac du Port Bielh) and peaks. Open typically from late May/early June to late September/early October, depending on snow conditions. Indicative price for a night in dormitory with dinner and breakfast: 50-65 EUR per person.
