Le refuge d'Ayous

The Ayous refuge is one of the most famous in the western Pyrenees. Situated at the crossroads (GR 10, HRP, local loops) and surrounded by a plethora of lakes, it also offers a breathtaking view of the emblematic peak of the Midi d'Ossau.



How to get there

From Pau, head for Laruns and the Col du Pourtalet in the Ossau valley. After Laruns and Gabas, turn right onto a narrow, winding road that leads to Lac de Bious-Artigues. Park at the top of the road, at the lake parking lot, or, if it is full, at the Bious-Oumettes parking lot below.
