Access

From Val d'Aran: From Vielha, follow the road to Port de la Bonaigua, at Salardu take a right onto a small road that continues as a track up the Trédos valley to Banhs de Tredos (end of the road from 15 June to 15 September) or to its terminus (if the track is open, otherwise a taxi service is available). The track leads to the northern foot of the Colomers Major Lake dam. From there, a southeast trail reaches the dam, which is crossed along its crest; the refuge is located on the western shore of the lake and is clearly visible. From Port de Ratera: Climb south to the wide Port de Ratera, then descend northwest to the magnificent Obago Lake. From Obago Lake: You can continue northwest to pass between Long Lake and Estanh Plan, then reach the dam and the refuge. In good weather, take advantage of it: walk the sublime circuit dels Estanys de Colomers by making a large loop that heads south to circle the entire Colomers cirque and its stunning collection of lakes before arriving at the refuge. From Port de Ratera: Climb northwest to reach the wide Port de Ratera, then proceed as above.
