The Refuge de la Dent Blanche is a traditional mountain refuge, perched in the mountains above Arolla and below the summit of Dent Blanche, one of the highest peaks in the Alps. The refuge is in a dramatic and unique location, perched on the moraine of the Glacier des Manzettes. Due to the location of the refuge, the approach to the refuge must be treated with diligence, in some cases it may be necessary to bring the appropriate equipment for the glacier crossing. Additionally, it is expected that those wishing to go to the refuge are confident in their skills as climbers, with the planning, skills and equipment necessary for a safe ascent. For those who are, you can be sure to find a beautiful and rewarding destination. The shelter can provide food, drinks and accommodation, but it is recommended to book in advance and check if the shelter is open during the months you plan your trip.
