Cabane de la Hounta

The place

Cabane de la Hounta: A Shelter in the Heart of Nature The Cabane de la Hounta, set in an unspoiled natural landscape, offers hikers a rustic shelter all year round. Restored in 2012, this small hut is in good condition and provides minimal but essential equipment for a comfortable night. Capacity and Facilities Capacity: 6 places. Facilities: Efficient stove that heats up quickly. Table and two fixed benches that can also serve as sleeping platforms. Pressure cooker for storing food. Basic dishes and small pots. Saw and broom available. Mattresses for 6 people upstairs. Access by Car From Saint Girons, take the D618 towards Castillon en Couserans. Go through the village and continue on the D4 towards Sentein. At Lascoux, turn right onto the D704A (small road) towards La Pucelle to the fitted-out car park (tables, toilets, barbecues). Access on Foot From the La Pucelle car park, follow the path towards the Port d'Orle, marked with the cross-border GR trail along the Orle. At one point the GR10 crosses the cross-border path — it is important to stay on the correct route. At 1450 m, where the path crosses the Orle, a sign pointing to the Cabane de Hounta on the left is visible. Financial Information Restoration cost: Not specified. Funding: Not disclosed.
