The Elena refuge is a nice stopover refuge on the TMB at an altitude of 2,062 m, perfect for a short break before tackling the ascent of the Grand Col Ferret. It faces the thousand-year-old Pré de Bard glacier. It is named after the granddaughter of a local shepherd.

Rifugio Elena (2061 m) is a very large mountain hut (127 beds) in the upper Val Ferret on the way to the Grand Col Ferret, important TMB base, well equipped, for some almost a mountain hotel. rifugioelena.it
Northwest of the hut, the glacier tongue of the Pré-de-Bar glacier opens on the south side of Mont Dolent.

The Elena mountain hut is a large and comfortable mountain hut hotel, mainly visited by hikers on the Giro of Mont Blanc. The old mountain hut was built in honor of Queen Helena, wife of Vittorio Emanuele II, but was destroyed by an avalanche.
The view of the Pré de Bard glacier is breathtaking.
