Great refuge and restaurant located a few minutes walk from Plan de l'Aiguille (first station from the Aiguille du Midi cable car). Highly recommended for an overnight stay — the dorms are small and private. A great goal for a family adventure in the mountains.

The Plan de l'Aiguille refuge offers room and board. Its panoramic terrace will make your little gourmet or refreshing break exceptional. Also note that a fountain will allow you to fill your water bottles or flasks for free before continuing on your way.
