    Tips

    Although it looks more like a spaceship than an alpine refuge, the Refuge du Velan offers comfortable accommodation for weary mountaineers. The refuge offers a magnificent view of the Grand Combin, as well as the numerous surrounding glaciers and rocky peaks. During the summer months, many day hikes and mountain routes lead to and from the refuge. If you plan to spend the night at the shelter, be sure to book in advance. For more details, visit their website at velan.ch.
