Refugee is really unique by his position, and remarkable views of the lake. Acces is steep, bit harder and have to be careful, but not impossible. It having: 12 beds, blankets, one sleeping bag, extra mat, lot of log's, fire place, 2 saw and 2 axe, it is 8 euro per person a day, what i was more then happy to pay, as something as that should be supported, after all it costs just to bring all those logs all the way up there. Plus there are lighters, bits of candles, some meals, and so on. Basically everything you may need to survive even the worse of the worse mountain conditions. Everyone is welcome, just drop by. No reservations needed. Don't listen to fake information, simply you can email them: clubalpin.lourdes@wanadoo.fr , they answer in a day confirming what I just said here. But what i can say, well done guy's you made it really well.
