ドーラ・バルテーアの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ11

L'Alpe Grandes Arpillesは、Vétanの盆地に位置する標高約2090〜2137メートルの高山牧場です。かつては多くの小屋がありましたが、現在はほとんどが遺跡と化しており、Punta LeysserとMont Fallèreの麓に広がる広大な牧草地を見下ろす、開けた支配的な場所に位置しています。Chatelanazから曲がりくねった農道を通ってアクセスするか、または小川を渡った後Thoulesから直接斜面を登ることで到達できます。この高山牧場は、Mont Fallère小屋へ中腹を横切って続く農道との交差点を示しており、ハイカー、スノーシューハイカー、スキーツアー客にとって自然な交差点となっています。樹木はこの地域ではまばらになり、やがて消え、冬には広大な雪原へと変わる草地が広がります。展望は広く開けており、南にはGrivolaとGran Paradisoの頂上が見え、空気が澄んだ日にはモンブランも見ることができます。

Farm road to climb to the Mont Fellere Refuge

Excellent approach to the refuge

Breathtaking views, check out the cake!

The Fallere with its statues is always beautiful

Nice, even driveway with enough distractions along the way! 🙂

The Mont Fallère Refuge is located in the valley between Mont Fallère, from which the refuge takes its name, and Monte Rosso di Vertosan, in Loc. Les Crottes at 2,385 m. in the municipality of Saint-Pierre. The Refuge is a true open-air museum; the owner Siro Viérin has not only dedicated himself to the construction of his refuge, but has created a true museum, a refuge “according to the rules of art” one might say. Along the path, which reaches the refuge from Vetan, a museum has come to life that currently has around 400 sculptures of small and large dimensions scattered along the last three km of the path, in well-studied points, to enrich the beauty of the landscape. From afar, depending on the light that hits them, sometimes the eye is deceived and one wonders what is real and what is not.

Highly recommended! The owner saved our lunch during the stage of the Cammino Balteo that passes through here: it was late but he still managed to prepare us some sandwiches!
