Refugio de Góriz
A high-mountain refuge at 2,200 m, the essential base camp for climbing Monte Perdido and for cross-border hiking.
The Góriz refuge sits on high alpine meadows at about 2,200 meters above Cola de Caballo. It is the only staffed refuge in the national park, offering beds and meals, and serves as the overnight stop for climbing Monte Perdido and for high-altitude routes such as Roland's Breach. From Ordesa Meadow, it takes about 4 to 5 hours via Cola de Caballo and then up the steep Chasas zigzag path. Beds are scarce in peak season, so book in advance on the official website. Camping in the surrounding area is prohibited; only camping beside the refuge at designated times is allowed.
