- Qué tiene: 2,140 m · 92 places · Open all year · On foot only · Aneto base

Staffed refuge open all year at 2,140 m, at the foot of the Maladeta and an hour from La Besurta: 92 places, dinner at 19:00 and breakfast at 5:00 for Aneto.

The gateway to Aneto
La Renclusa is at 2,140 metres, in the Benasque valley, at the foot of the Maladeta massif and right in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park. From here depart the ascents of Aneto, the Maladeta, the Portillones ridge or Pico de Coronas, and the long Pyrenean traverses pass through here, such as the Aneto circuit or the Aneto and Posets one proposed by the Aragonese federation. The Centre Excursionista de Catalunya built it between 1913 and 1916; today it belongs to that club, the Federación Aragonesa de Montañismo and Benasque Town Council, and it is open and staffed all year. In high season more than ten people look after it.
Sleeping here the night before Aneto saves about 50 minutes of walking in the early hours and puts you on the refuge's timetable: dinner at 19:00, silence at 22:00 and breakfast at 5:00, designed to set off for the glacier at first light.
What it is like inside
It has 92 places in dormitories with bunks. There are duvets, but a sleeping-bag liner is compulsory: if you do not bring one, they sell them there. Inside you wear indoor footwear and boots are left in the entrance; bring clogs or something similar. There are showers with hot water, heating, a bar-café, a ski store, lockers (bring a €5 note for the deposit) and wifi for customers from 5:00 to 21:00. Pets are not allowed, and everyone takes their rubbish down: the refuge has no waste collection.
The canteen serves sandwiches, drinks, snacks and provisions at any time, outside dining-room sittings.

You can only arrive on foot. From the La Besurta car park, at 1,910 metres, it is an hour along a track and well-marked path, suitable for all levels; from Benasque, two and a half to three hours. In summer car access to La Besurta is regulated: check the Natural Park restrictions beforehand. In winter and spring the path may be snowy and, with avalanche risk, closed. The night before or on the way down, at the bottom of the valley you have the Hotel Hospital de Benasque.
