The Oller refuge (not guarded) is located halfway up the Pic de Madrès from Odeillo. From this point, you will have privileged views over places such as Puyvalador and its lake, the old station and the Pic de Ginèvre area, the Llissa Cremada, etc. As for the shelter, it is not very big but it is very pleasant and well equipped. It has bunk beds for four people, a stove and firewood, some books, maps...

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.

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.
