レ・トロワ・バッサンの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ5

Fasten your seatbelt and put on your helmet... it stings your legs

Comfortable rest area with plenty of seating. Even covered. Running spring water is also available.

The hut is on the direct path to the summit of the Piton de Neiges. The hut is very simple (there are no showers and only three toilets in total, not separated by gender). You sleep either in shared rooms in the hut itself (up to 15 beds) or in military tents (each with 8 beds). There are no pillows, just wool blankets. So don’t forget your hut sleeping bag. There is no drinking water. However, water is sold in bottles by the landlord for currently (09/2023) €3 per liter. There are also snacks like KitKat and other drinks like Cola. The dinner was also rather simple, but very tasty and more than sufficient. There is the option for breakfast. An advance reservation should be made either online or by telephone with the innkeeper. Anyone who would like to eat must also register 48 hours in advance. All in all, we can recommend the hut, but you should be aware in advance of what you are getting yourself into!

The refuge of the Dufour cave, also called "gîte du Piton des Neiges" is located at an altitude of 2,400 meters. This essential stopover is accessible in summer and winter alike and has about 70 places divided between dormitories and bungalows. It is strongly recommended to book your nights and meals at least 48 hours in advance. Access to water is also limited, so remember to bring enough.

Lots of bad comments about the refuge but we were lucky enough to be able to chat with the caretaker who is passionate about it and above all to taste a sausage rougail at 2500m.

This simple accommodation is located on an easily accessible hill. Fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and the gorges below invite you to linger in the lovingly landscaped garden.
