샴페인 앙 바누아즈‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

Home sweet home... an exceptional playground!

This pretty refuge is located at an altitude of 2,417 metres, in the heart of the Vanoise park. It is easily accessible from the Col de la Platta car park. The refuge has a single large room, so the 14-bed dormitory is in the same place as the dining room. An intimate atmosphere awaits you! It is also possible to pitch a tent around it, but only by reservation.

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.

The real high mountain trail, well marked but where you need a sure foot, breathtaking panoramas 🤩 fairy tale lakes, we have here an exceptional must!

Nice littly mountain hut. Not guarded during winter. Not there is no shower available. you have to wash yourself at the trough

The region is very beautiful and has a lot to see.

The Plan du Lac refuge is a refuge located on the slopes of the Vanoise National Park, at almost 2,400 meters above sea level. Its caretaker offers all the services of a high mountain refuge, from accommodation to catering. It is possible to pitch your tent there: however, ask for the terms and conditions. At the exit of the refuge, beautiful explanatory plaques tell the geology of the park. Check it out to learn more about the trails you're on.

Refuge on the shores of the Merlet lakes, in the Vanoise National Park, surrounded by an exceptional panorama, typically mountain and very welcoming. Quiet haven with little capacity. Guarded in summer and free in winter (wood and gas available).
