From this location you can admire the Meije glaciers which are revealed one after the other as you advance. An unmissable spectacle in the Écrins.

Alpe refuge at Villar-d'Arène

Highlight • Rest Area

This superb refuge is located in the middle of the mountain pastures very close to the village of La Grave. Run by a charming family, it is the ideal place to spend the night in a friendly atmosphere!

La Romanche

Highlight • River

So named after the legend of a young girl who, coming down from the Alpe to celebrate St Jean at Pied-du-Col, would have crossed the devil here on her way up who would have carried her away forever...
