Tips

Road cycling

Refuge Napoléon is a place you must stop during your bike ride over the Col d'Izoard. Nowhere else do the cakes taste as good as here. And that is not because of the sweet taste of your victory at the Izoard, but because the pastry here is really good. You will find the Refuge Napoléon after a kilometer descent from the north side of the Col d'Izoard, or in the last kilometer of your climb (but do you stop for cake?). Sit on the terrace, enjoy the view and be pampered.

Refuge Napoléon is a must stop on the ascent or descent of the Col d'Izoard. The mountain hut has a good restaurant and the cakes are famous in the area. You can also enjoy a delicious meal here in the evening and you can spend the night here.
