Don't be put off by the view from the top of this climb, which offers a fine view over the valley and the village of Névache.
You're now just fifteen minutes from the Buffère refuge.
Warning: in summer, this route leaves Névache on the right bank from the Outre bridge, on the left just after the church; it is avalanche-prone and totally inadvisable in winter.
Find out when the refuge is open and remember to book.
Stay alert :
be aware of changing weather and snow conditions. The G.R. and other itineraries used in summer are not always the same as those used in winter - The right bank itinerary between Ville Haute and the Rately bridge is not recommended.
Stay alert to avalanche risks. Our mountain guides are there to guide you on this winter terrain, which they know well.
