Quim,
check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Map_extensions

This needs a bit more work than just picking one OSM tile (what if the
hut is on the edge of a tile?).
ca.wiki does have the WikiMiniAtlas enabled. Clicking the icon next to
the coordinates does open an interactive slippy map with catalan
labels.

Best,
Daniel
