アルバールの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ5

A panoramic view of the valley with a viewpoint indicator

This small refuge is run by a fantastic association called "Tous à Poêle." It is very well equipped and has a small wood-burning stove, and, most importantly, kindling and logs. There is a spring nearby.

Magnificent viewpoints. Diverse landscapes

Despite its name Crête du Poulet, you probably have a better chance of coming across cows here. The highest point is marked with a large cross, which is probably helpful if you're riding in less than ideal conditions. The trails here are multi-use hiking trails, so be nice to hikers as you descend the slope.

Superb panorama over Belledonne, Les Bauges, La Chartreuse.. A refuge below is the ideal place for a short break.

The arrival at the refuge, after a very pleasant climb through the forest to the sound of the torrent, opens onto a landscape which announces the continuation of the hike: we pass to the alpine level with its mountain pastures and its scree. The view at sunset must be magnificent!

Magnificent view of the Chartreuse, the Bauges and Belledonne... Refuge in an idyllic setting!

This alpine gîte is perched at an altitude of 1,784 meters on the Belledonne massif. It accommodates in dormitory up to 22 people and offers small dishes to eat. Remember to book in advance on the refuge website: http://www.combemadame.com/
