Refuge de l'Arpont
This refuge of the Vanoise National Park is on the GR5, not far from the glacier of the same name.
Description
This refuge offers a superb unobstructed view from the roof terrace. The old chalets have been converted into 6- or 10-person dormitories for a pleasant stopover in the refuge.
In spring, it is guarded for ski touring.
In the heart of the Vanoise National Park, bivouacs are only permitted during the summer months on dedicated sites in the immediate vicinity of the refuge, during the guarding period. We advise you to book your pitch in advance with the refuge.
