Cabana de Pòrt d'Urets

The place

Sleeping places provided: 3. Places on mattress: 2. Two places on a low sleeping platform and another very small one, but you can sleep on the floor without any problem (two extra places). The stove sits in the middle: remember to bring up firewood! You need to fetch water, but in summer 2015 (hot) there were still some snow patches on the Spanish side. The hut is built like a yurt of log timber covered with stone (slate?), perfectly insulated. At worst, you can pitch a tent for the night on the Spanish side. Exceptional setting at the foot of the Maubermé! This hut is a little gem that's worth the effort to preserve! Take care of it! There is a [->8556] about 700 m away as the crow flies. St Girons - Sentein - Eylie (Bocard) then follow the GRT waymarking. A 10-hour, 2000 m loop hike: Eylie - Urets hut and dam - Port d'Urets - Le Maubermé - Port de La Hourquette - Bentaillou - Eylie... you can also spend an extra night and detour to the Étang d'Araing and the Crabère... Hut built by the municipality of Sentein in 2009 for the shepherd, who now only occasionally uses it for his afternoon naps.
