Cabane d'Arien

Cabane d'Arien is a small, unguided, free-access mountain shelter in the French Pyrenees at 1292 m. It’s a simple stone cabane with a closed door and no windows, designed for very basic overnight use.

Inside, it provides a sleeping platform (bas-flanc) for up to 2 people and a fireplace for warming the tiny interior. Use is first-come, first-served with no booking or reservation system.

Access is from Ourde by following a track to the east–southeast, then continuing along the valley floor; at the col, the cabane sits to the west. The immediate area is having an outhouse nearby and enough cover/forest close by to reach the shelter without route-finding tools.
