Pombie Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Pombie mountain refuge is ideal, it has complete services, it is relatively close to the car park, there is a beautiful mountain lake next to it and it is at the foot of one of the most unique and endearing mountains in the Pyrenees. And for all this it is a quite crowded place, you can even see people observing with binoculars the climbing ropes that roam the routes of the south and east faces. The path to the top continues straight on towards Col de Suzón, where the ascent begins. The route turns to the left of the refuge, heading west, around the lake and up the steps carved by the old Quaternary glaciers between the Midi and the Peyreget. In each niche excavated by the ice there is a lake and the ascent is an entertaining journey with the contrasts of the beauty of the mountain lakes and the fierceness of the fangs of volcanic materials that try to puncture the sky.
