프랄로냥 라바누아즈 최고의 등산 경로

The surroundings are beautiful. I'm not very enthusiastic about the refuge itself. There's a very long line upon arrival. You have to leave your room before 8 a.m. Showering is also not possible after that.

simply amazing place

lovely gorge with dramatic waterfall.

The refuge is open from mid-June to mid-September and has 44 beds. It also serves good comfort food, for lunch and dinner. Remember to book your night on the refuge website: https://refuge-valette.vanoise.com/services-gardiennage

beautiful place to start the tour de la Vanoise

Last year we left Mont Bochor to reach the Barmettes refuge and climb to Lac des Vaches. As the return was on foot to Pralognan we did not go any higher. Last week we took the Genepy chairlift then Lac des Vaches then Lac Long and stopped at the refuge of the Col de la Vanoise. Two or three passages in the snow (~45 min). Nice walk, the climb after the lake seemed easier to me than the first part.

This region is one of the most beautiful I have seen on the GR5 from Lake Geneva to Nice.

Very nice lodgings and good comfort. On the other hand the staff is not friendly and the boss even less. Big scam for the price of the picnic and exorbitant price.
