Alpine Huts & Shelters

This collection features essential mountain shelters within the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park in the Spanish Pyrenees.

Located at altitudes between 1,750 and 2,425 meters, they offer strategic access to the Ésera, Estós, and Vallibierna valleys, serving as vital hubs for multi-day trekking routes and high-altitude climbing expeditions.
