Naguille Lake
Highlight • Lake
Now in industrial use, the pond has long animated local tales and legends. The Ariégeois say that the pond of Naguilles was born from the meeting of a blacksmith and the beast of the forest of Naguilles. The blacksmith allegedly gave the ferocious ferocious beast a white-hot iron bar. The beast, then thirsty, would have emptied all the water sources of the mountain before exploding at the current location of the pond.

En Beys Lakes
Highlight • Lake
Reading a map, you will guess that the lake furthest upstream is the largest of the three. It is also the one on which the En Beys refuge is based, an essential stopover for a night in an entirely mountain setting.
The layout of the lake is perfect for admiring the colors of dawn or dusk. If you sleep at the refuge, take advantage of it for a moment of contemplation.

En Beys Refuge
Highlight • Restaurant
In a warm and family setting, the refuge guardians offer 70 beds in high season as well as a complete catering offer. In winter, 15 places remain freely accessible, accessible through the window at the top of the ladder which fits on one of the walls of the building.
The refuge is an ideal place to observe the burning of the granite walls of the Pics Rouges at sunset, or the galloping chamois in the snowfields in the early morning. If you wish to extend your stay for one night, do not hesitate to contact the refuge on 05 61 64 24 24 to find out about opening dates and bed availability.
