 This interesting région, instead of expensive refuge-hotels, has
simple huts nicely sited along the tracks. Unfortunately vandals can walk too, and make
some of these cabanes nearly unusable, like the Cabane de l'Etang de la Hilette. The
sleeping platform timber has been burnt as firewood, walls have been made unstable, gaping
holes have been torn in the roof sheeting. Some say the local fishermen did it to avoid
too many visitors, others suspect a commercial organisation to press for building a money
making refuge-hotel up there. Plain shit-heads could have done it wihout reason as well. |
From Vallée d'Ustou, tracks lead over the cirque to numerous lakes, peaks and passes
over to Spain.
