Great mountain hut. My tip: reserve accommodation in advance!

Hiking

This refuge is the newest one along the Coronallacs trail around Andorra. The rooms all have incredible views, the refuge has WiFi, accepts cash only and it's 1 Euro per minute (shower tokens). The evening meal is 3 courses and was brilliant (black pudding soup, pasta bake and chocolate mousse). I slept in one of their 8-person dorms. Beneath the hut is the original 'bothy' (unstaffed room) which is still in use.
