Adele Planchard Mountain Hut
Villar-d'Arêne
The refuge is the second highest perched in the Ecrins massif.
Located in the Massif des Ecrins, Groupe de la Grande Ruine in the Briançonnais, this refuge is a lookout point over the Barre des Ecrins. When you arrive, you'll discover the world of high mountains.
From the refuge, you'll have a beautiful view of the succession of Pic de Neige Cordier peaks, all the way to La Roche Méane at 3765 m (Pointe Breevort).
Access from the foot of the Col (5h) on a signposted path. No technical equipment required in summer.
In spring, the refuge is also kept for the ski touring season, as the first stage of the Tour de la Meije, or for the ascent of the Grande Ruine!
