The Arago cabin is located at an altitude of 2,123 meters on the path which leads to the Canigou peak from the Mariailles refuge. It has 6 beds as well as some bivouac spaces. A small spring flows not far from the building.

Canigou

Highlight • Summit

The Canigou is demanding, but a real challenge and a very beautiful one at that. Pay attention to the weather! The ideal ridge between being in the clouds and too much sun is narrow...

Incredible balcony trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Below the Ridge of Seven Men, this path crosses magnificent groves of conifers, a very technical scree and offers superb viewpoints. The terrain alternates between flat stone slabs, rocky chaos and a dirt path. Magnificent access to reach the Canigou peak.

Round Trip - Missing part of the return data (no battery)
A 30th of a km in 8h30-9h + 1h30 break. A good pace and good shape. Worth the effort! - The chimney remains impressive.

September 24, 2023,Pyrenäen-Durchquerung: Tag 6

My alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. and shortly after 6 a.m. I set off by the light of my headlamp. If you spend the night just below the summit of Canigou, a climb up to see the sunrise is almost a must. Some others probably thought so too, whose headlamps I could see further up the mountain. The climb …

August 11, 2024,GR10-étape 40: Refuge Mariailles-Refuge Cortalets

On this section, I did not follow the GR10 but the HRP route. I wanted to do the Canigou peak. The last part of the climb is done by clinging to the rocks passing through the chimney. It's vertical!
The descent on the other side is easy. Besides, the route is strongly discouraged in the other direction
Last advice: avoid …
