Zona d'acampada controlada, Controlled camping zone in Meranges, Spain.
Zona d'acampada controlada is a camping zone located near Refugi de Malniu in the high mountains of the eastern Pyrenees. The site provides marked tent spots within a mountain pasture landscape with basic water access for campers.
The camping zone became part of the network of mountain refuges built throughout the Pyrenees starting in the early 1900s to support hikers and mountaineers. This infrastructure was created to enable access to the high peaks.
Shepherds in the surrounding pastures continue traditional herding practices that shape the landscape and daily rhythm of the highlands. Their presence and livestock are part of what gives this mountain area its character.
Visitors need to check in with Refugi de Malniu before setting up camp, as permits are required to use the controlled zone. Contact the refuge for specific guidelines before heading to the site.
The location provides direct access to high-mountain lakes and circular routes that connect several peaks above 2800 meters (9200 feet). These ring-trail hikes allow visitors to move between summits while staying at high elevation.
