Refugi d'Engorgs "Joaquim Folch i Girona"

The Refugi d'Engorgs "Joaquim Folch i Girona" is a mountain hut operated by the Federació d'Entitats Excursionistes de Catalunya (FEEC), the Catalan federation of hiking and mountain entities. It stands at an altitude of 2,378 metres in the circ d'Engorgs, on the south-west slope of Puig Pedrós, within the municipality of Meranges in the Cerdanya comarca of Catalonia, Spain. The hut is part of the FEEC's network of staffed and unstaffed refuges that support hikers, climbers and ski mountaineers across the Catalan Pyrenees. The refuge is named after Joaquim Folch i Girona, a figure commemorated in the Catalan hiking movement, and its official name combines the Engorgs location with that dedication. Because of its high position, it serves as a base for ascents of nearby summits including Puig Pedrós (2,915 m), Roc Colom (2,685 m) and Engorgs (2,818 m). The long-distance GR-11 trail, which crosses the Pyrenees, passes by the hut, making it a waypoint for through-hikers as well as a destination for day trips. Access is on foot. The nearest village is Meranges, about 2 hours 30 minutes away on foot, and the nearest refuge is the Refugi de Malniu, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes away. Vehicles cannot reach the hut directly; the usual approach is made from the Refugi de Malniu. The refuge is listed in the FEEC's official refuge directory and is promoted by local tourism bodies such as the Patronat de Turisme de la Cerdanya.
