Restanca Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Restanca refuge is located in an impressive setting in the Aigüestortes i San Maurici Natural Park, as it is located next to the beautiful Restanca lake which will surely force us to take out our camera.

It has WC, showers, food and drinks as well as other basic services. There is room for 80 hikers and when it is closed there is room for 12.

the Port de Rius or Coret de Oelhacrestada as it is known in Aranès (2475m) is a mountain pass that connects the Vall d'Aran with the Alta Ribagorça, specifically the areas of Travessani and Restanca.
Crossing point for the Carros de Foc and GR 11.18 crossing as well as the classic Montardo ascent route (2837m) from La Restanca. Another option is to climb the Tuc de Monges (2698m) along its NE ridge.

Estany de Travessany

Highlight • Lake

One of the great lakes of the Boí Valley, which is located in a unique place due to its impressive views of several peaks, such as Tuc de Roques Negres and Tumeneia. It is very close to the Ventosa i Calvell refuge.
If there is snow, you have to be careful not to get off the road.

Refugi Ventosa i Calvell

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The shelter is not put up until early June; until then, we will be able to use the facilities, taking into account that there are only 6 places. There are those who carry the sleeping bag and a mat to sleep on the ground when there is no space. In summer reservations are recommended.
Also from here we will have a privileged view of Estany Negre and we will see the signs to follow the Carros de Foc route.
