Located in the middle of the ascent to the Roland Gap, an area of the first Pyrenean expeditions, it is a second-generation construction dating from 1956.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the Second World War, the mountains were no longer considered a privilege of aristocrats and mountaineering became more popular, so much so that there was a need for shelters with greater capacity and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a building that is always overcrowded. As I mentioned before, the French regulations affecting shelters are stricter, also for occupancy; 5.6m2\/person as opposed to the 2.6m2 required here. This also affected the fire issue, having to put alarms everywhere and having a large outside area for people to go out to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding the renovation, it was commented that they had no experts to work with stone, nor was there any wood in the vicinity, so it was proposed that a solution be found with cut steel, and this was accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so, with the Sarradets Refuge, a nice colloquium began in which tricks and ways of doing things on both sides of the Pyrenees were exchanged. As you have seen, there was a lot of talk about energy efficiency, costs and transport, covering materials, as well as sanitation systems; mainly the septic tank is used under the building or, if the terrain allows it, the traditional decantation system. As a novelty, coconut fibre filters are also used in Canada and are also more economical. As you can see, there were technical and aesthetic conversations for all tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let's see if with the new season, I have the opportunity to visit some of them in person, take photos and, if possible, interview some of these architects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
