In a glacial high altitude, mineral environment, we welcome hikers and mountaineers who are passing by, or who want to stay overnight. Weather permitting, the refuge offers an exceptional and unforgettable view of the Dome and the Barre des Écrins.
The current refuge, which was built in the 60s, is a rustic building made of dressed stone. It has minimal comfort. In bad weather, the temperature inside falls rapidly, the wood stove in the dining room is used in the spring and in the event of bad weather. In April and May (sometimes even in June) we melt the snow on the stoves or the roof of the refuge and the precious water is used for cooking and cleaning. Towards mid-June, it is possible to get melt water from the water catchment area...

Access

  • Walking route: from the Pré de Mme Carle (end of spring and summer)... go in the same direction as for the Glacier Blanc refuge, then follow the path to the west, and take a foothold on the glacier and head up to refuge on the rocky headland. Beware, depending on the ice conditions and your abilities on the glacier, it is advisable to stay on the path with the white marking that continues up the moraine and stops on the flattest part of the glacier. You will then need to climb up the glacier a short time to just below the headland where the refuge is.
    Climb: 1300 m
    Time: Approx. 4½ hours
