Notice to thrill seekers! When the wind and / or the updrafts are there, the water from the nearby waterfall sprinkles the footbridge.

Rivet du Milieu

Highlight • Settlement

Small alpine village in the valley of La Buffe located in the middle of the three villages of Le Rivet (la Cime, le Milieu and le Pied). It is really worth a look to admire the very pretty stone houses with their wooden roofs. It offers one of the most beautiful belvederes on the Meije massif.

Pic du Mas de la Grave Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Pic du Mas de la Grave refuge is built on the ruins of the Baraques des Salomons. It is located in the commune of La Grave, 6 kilometres/1h30 from the hamlet of Chazelet, at the bottom of the Buffe valley, facing the majestic north face of La Meije (3983 m).
The refuge is the ideal stage to climb the peak of Mas de la Grave, an "easy 3000" with a magnificent 360° panorama of the Ecrins, the Aiguilles d'Arves, the Grandes Rousses, the Savoie and the Mont Blanc. It also provides access to the Emparis plateau and its lakes, and to make crossings between the plateau and the Goléon.
