Aire de bivouac du Baou

  • Bivouac shelter
Elevation : 1400m
Plateau de Bonascre, Bonascre, 09110 Ax-les-Thermes
Bivouac area on the Bonascre plateau, pla del bau.
Bivouacking in the mountains means spending the night far from civilization, either under the stars or in a tent.
6 to 7 tent pitches are available for hikers.
The site has been designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible, without damaging the natural environment of the plateau, so facilities are kept to a minimum, with a water point, barbecue, dry toilets and picnic tables.
We're counting on everyone to leave this space clean for future visitors.
This area is also a cow park. Be sure to put back the wire, which can be electrified, when entering and leaving this area. Fires are prohibited except in the barbecue provided for this purpose.
Regulations :
Bivouacs are not permitted everywhere. It is clearly forbidden in certain natural parks or protected areas. So be sure to check the rules in your chosen area. Tents must be pitched in the evening (after 5pm) and dismantled before sunrise.
Do not pitch your tent near a refuge, unless authorized to do so (by notifying the refuge warden).
It is, of course, compulsory to leave the site clean, and to take away all garbage. It is also almost always forbidden to light fires in protected areas.
