The current Coma de Vaca refuge, inaugurated in September 1999, has its origins in a small stone house where the current building is located. This house was built by the hydroelectric company FECSA in the 50's. XX in order to house the workers who were carrying out a study on the possible viability of a reservoir in the Pla de les Eugues. The project did not go ahead and FECSA ceded its use to FEEC. Today Coma de Vaca is a modern and cozy refuge, located in a bucolic valley surrounded by peaks, where the rivers Freser and Coma de Vaca converge. A crossing point for one of the variants of the GR 11 (GR 11.7), the excursion to the refuge through the gorges of the Freser or the Camí dels Enginyers from Núria is in itself an unforgettable experience. The refuge is also part of the Crossing of the 3 Refuges and the Magic Mountains route.
