The Coma de Vaca refuge is located at 2000 meters above sea level, on the Yeguas plain, where the Freser and de la Vaca rivers converge. It has 52 beds, hot showers, Wi-Fi and a bar with home cooking.

Located on the banks of the Carança River and at the crossroads of the GR 10, Spain and the Carança Gorges, the refuge enjoys a privileged location. Ideal for stopping over. During the guarding period, from mid-May to mid-September, the refuge provides 13 beds in dormitories, a catering service, showers and toilets. Campers can also pitch their tent near the refuge. All the information on the refuge can be found on the website of the association that manages it: https://www.refugelacaranca.com/le-refuge

It is a mandatory port for anyone who wants to visit Upper Cerdanya by bicycle. On the southern slope it is very affordable; However, the charm of this port is on the northern slope, the one that goes up from Olette. It has all the incentives for good cycle tourism.

Both the Coma de Vaca refuge and the Camí dels Enginyers (which connects the refuge with the sanctuary of Núria) have their origins in the failed project to build a reservoir in the Coma de Vaca valley. The initial construction was a simple stone house that served to house the workers who carried out the initial study of the reservoir. The electric company gave up its effort, and gave the house to the Federation of Excursionist Organizations of Catalonia (FEEC). In 1998, the FEEC demolished the original house to build a new, modern and guarded shelter. The refuge has beds, showers, stove, bar-restaurant service and Internet. It is recommended to book at www.comadevaca.cat

The shelter now has light (2023). Comfortable place to spend the night with the noise of the river in the background. They have very delicious vegan options for food. There are no showers, to clean yourself there is a stream of very cold water next to it. You can sleep inside or they can provide you with a tent to spend the night outside if you prefer more privacy. The workers are very available and friendly.

Shelter with easy and quick access from the Vallter2000 car park. The nice guys, the comfortable beds, everything very clean and they have vegan options for food. From here there are good views of the Gra de Fajol and the Gra de Fajol Petit.
