Winter refuge: 

When the warden is not in the refuge, a part of it stays open all year round. You will find matresses, pillows, blankets and all you need for cooking. Be aware that there is no gas, or heating and lighting. You will find water on your way up to the refuge, just above the forest (when there is no snow).
Please make sure that doors and shutters are properly closed after you leave because the refuge can be totally immerged in snow during winter time.

Getting to the refuge during the winter:
During the winter, you can go inside the refuge by opening the top part of the main entrance door. Be ready to shovel!
Be aware that the road to la Bérarde is closed during the winter from Champhorent village. Call the tourist office to have more information on the road’s opening.
Remember to check the weather forecast and snow conditions before going to the refuge during the winter. You can find more information on météoFrance’s website.
