Refugio de los Ibones de Bachimaña

The Refugio de los Ibones de Bachimaña is a staffed mountain refuge in the Spanish Pyrenees, located at an altitude of 2,200 metres south of the Ibon de Bachimaña bajo in the municipality of Panticosa. Administratively it lies in the comarca of Alto Gállego, in the province of Huesca, within the autonomous community of Aragón, Spain. It sits within a landscape of glacial cirques, surrounded by numerous small mountain lakes (ibones) and high summits. The refuge is open and staffed throughout the year and offers 80 places in rooms equipped with shower and bathroom. Its facilities include running water, showers and washbasins, hot water, a bar and dining service, a first-aid room, lockers, rest footwear, and a multipurpose classroom. It also provides telephone service and a rescue telecommunications system. Ownership rests with the Federación Aragonesa de Montañismo (Aragonese Mountaineering Federation), and the refuge was inaugurated on 14 July 2012. As a base for outdoor activity, the refuge is a starting point for many hikers, for walking the GR 11 long-distance trail, for traverses, and for ascents of summits over three thousand metres such as the western, eastern and central Infierno, the Grande Facha, the Garmo Negro and the Argualas. In winter it supports ski mountaineering routes and ascents. Stays can be combined with the Casa de Piedra mountain refuge at the Balneario de Panticosa, at 1,636 metres. The refuge belongs to the network of refuges of the Aragonese Pyrenees and is promoted through the alberguesyrefugiosdearagon.com booking and information platform.
