Angel Orús refuge
2,150 mSpectacular valley views
The Angel Orús refuge is located in the Aigüeta de Eriste valley at 2,150 m high, at the foot of the Agujas del Forcau. From the terrace of the refuge you can enjoy spectacular views of the valley. Built around the old Forcau refuge, it preserves this emblematic refuge intact as a vestige of what it once was. Now the old Forcau is a modern building that offers all the comforts to have a pleasant stay.
The Ángel Orús has been certified with ISO 14001 since October 2003, a pioneering experience in Spain and the Pyrenees in the field of mountain refuges, from where it is committed to an environmental management model with the installation of renewable energy sources, the usual practice of selective waste collection and environmental awareness campaigns.
