When you hike up to this view of the Etang Bleu, you are rewarded with a breathtaking sight where the bright blue waters of the pond are nestled among the rugged peaks of the Pyrenees. The Etang Bleu, known for its deep blue and strikingly clear waters, is surrounded by lush vegetation and rocky outcrops, creating a tranquil and almost magical atmosphere. You can take advantage of this peaceful spot to take a break and soak up the natural beauty of the area before continuing your exploration of the nearby Etang de Rabassoles and its equally captivating landscape.

Nestled at the foot of the Pérics at 2,240 meters, the Camporells refuge is in a remarkable setting. Located on the banks of the Estany del Mig (middle pond), it has 19 places and 12 additional tents.

The En Beys refuge which overlooks the eponymous ponds culminates at an altitude of 1,970 meters, in the heart of the Orlu national reserve. Situated on the great GR 7 which connects the Vosges to the Pyrenees, the refuge remains an excellent detour for the GRP® tour of the Ax Mountains or Tour des Pérics. In a warm and family setting, the refuge guardians offer 70 beds in high season as well as a complete catering offer. In winter, 15 places remain freely accessible, accessible through the window at the top of the ladder which fits on one of the walls of the building. The refuge is an ideal place to observe the burning of the granite walls of the Pics Rouges at sunset, or the galloping chamois in the snowfields in the early morning. If you wish to extend your stay for one night, do not hesitate to contact the refuge on 05 61 64 24 24 to find out about opening dates and bed availability.

The En Beys pond is part of a group of three ponds: the En Beys pond, the Couillade pond and the herb pond. A guarded refuge is present on the banks at the Gourd Gaudet pond.
