Overview
The Refugi Mont-roig "Enric Pujol" is a mountain refuge in the municipality of Lladorre, in the Pallars Sobirà comarca of Catalonia, Spain. It sits at an altitude of 2,288.7 metres on the south-western slope of the Serrat de la Gallina, close to the south-eastern end of the Estany Inferior de la Gallina. The refuge is part of the network of mountain huts and emergency shelters maintained by the Federació d'Entitats Excursionistes de Catalunya (FEEC), the Catalan hiking federation. It is classified as a free or emergency refuge (refugi lliure or refugi d'emergència), meaning it is intended for unexpected situations in the mountains where hikers need shelter due to weather or physical problems, rather than for recreational overnight stays. The location is described by the FEEC as lying between the head of the Cardós valley and Alt Àneu, in one of the most important mountain areas of Catalonia. Its isolated position between large valleys offers views of the Central Pyrenees, the Ariège region and much of inland Catalonia. The arid landscape contrasts with the intense blue of the lake cirque of the Estanys de la Gallina. The refuge allows a route to be divided into two days, and the area is described as one of the few still-virgin mountain corners of the country. Access to the refuge is on foot. From Quanca, which is reachable by vehicle from Tavascan, hikers head north towards the port de Tavascan, then turn west to follow the torrent de la Roia de Mollàs along the Alta Ruta Pirinenca (ARP) to the refuge, a walk of about 2 hours 45 minutes. As an emergency shelter, the refuge has strict rules: it may not be used for leisure activities, overnight stays are only allowed if strictly necessary, access is only for emergencies such as an accident or bad weather, and users must leave no food, waste or personal objects behind and must respect the interior and surroundings. The refuge is named after Enric Pujol, though the evidence provided does not specify who he was. The facility is listed on Wikidata and has a short article on the Catalan Wikipedia. It is promoted through the FEEC website, which provides practical information and a gallery of images. The refuge is a modest but important piece of mountain infrastructure in the Catalan Pyrenees, serving hikers on the Alta Ruta Pirinenca and those exploring the Mont-roig massif and the Gallina lakes.
