Sometimes we do long-distance routes and sometimes we would like to continue but we can't because we don't know where to spend the night. Although in Spain we have wonderful and well-equipped shelters for sleeping in the mountains, today we wanted to take a look at the most impressive shelters worldwide. Which of them do you choose?
The 7 most impressive shelters in the world
Elena Refuge, Aconcagua.
This construction is located at almost 6,000 meters high and is the highest on the entire planet. It is intended for emergencies and was donated by the parents of Elena Senín, an Italian mountaineer who died after reaching the summit.
Gouter Refuge, France.
They say it is the most futuristic of all and it is not surprising because it looks like a spaceship. It is located at an altitude of almost 4,000 meters and is on the highest peak in the European Union: Mont Blanc.
Luca Vuerich Bivouac Shelter, Alps.
You can see it in the middle of nowhere, at 2,500 meters above sea level where you will see wonderful landscapes. Of course, only those who arrive on foot can sleep there and for free.
Gervasutti Refuge, Italy.
It looks like a space capsule and is located at about 2,800 meters high. It is ideal for groups of hikers as it has up to 12 beds. Isn't it original?
Solvay Refuge, Switzerland.
With impressive views and at 4,000 meters above sea level, it is located, without a doubt, in an impressive place, from which the peaks of Monte Rosa can be seen. Spectacular.
Margarita Refuge, Italy.
From here You will be able to see the clouds in this place inaugurated back in 1983. Since then it has not stopped receiving mountaineers who venture on an excursion to the peaks of the Italian alps and the border with Switzerland.
Gorakshep Shelter, Nepal.
The most impressive thing about this refuge is not its height at more than 5,000 meters, nor that it is the last stop for mountaineers who climb the highest mountain in the world, but that next to it there is a frozen lake covered by sand. Impressive.
