Cabane du Mourgouillou
Highlight • Mountain Hut
The small stone construction pierced with a door and a window is basic but has the essentials for a successful break. There is a fireplace and a side wall on which up to four people can sleep head to tail. For water and wood, the surrounding streams and woods provide the necessary.
Your break is over, you only have one hour of downhill walking to reach Mérens-les-Vals.

Comte Lake
Highlight • Lake
In the heart of a green valley, the lake is like a diamond stranded in a green setting. Like its neighboring bodies of water, it is also an ideal resting place, both for animals in the summer pastures and for walkers on a stroll.
If the summer is hot, dip your hands in it to cool off. Be careful to filter the water if you want to drink it: despite its sometimes crystalline colors, the presence of cattle brings bacteria that are not very appreciable for your stomach.

Estagnol Pond
Highlight • Lake
Headed by the Mourgouillou hut, the pond is an ideal resting place, both for the animals in the summer pastures and for walkers on a walk.

Mérens-les-Vals
Highlight • Settlement
There's no shortage of accommodation options. You can book a room or a gîte year-round. In summer, you can choose a campsite located on the left bank of the Ariège River, one kilometer north of Mérens, on the Chemin des Bonshommes, which is part of the GR 107 hiking trail.
