- TipsIf you'd like to find out more about mountain life... A guide and a companion will welcome you. You can always call on their services for an outing in the footsteps of Hannibal, an accompanied tour of Viso, a pass with too much snow, or an ascent of the giant Roi de Pierre, Mont Viso.
- Set in a mountain pasture cirque at an altitude of 2460 m, the Viso Refuge welcomes backpackers.
Its isolated location makes energy scarce, so stays are tinged with picturesqueness. When packing your bag, don't forget your headlamp: there's no electricity in the dormitories! While the sun provides some of the refuge's energy, to recharge a phone (there's no network) or a camera, you have to pedal a strange bicycle that drives a generator.
Nonetheless, this Robinson aspect is anecdotal compared to the comfort of the refuge and the warmth of the welcome. The table is generous and comforting.
Whether you're a hiker, mountain biker, climber or mountaineer, the Viso refuge in its mountain setting is a must.
