Despite the relatively low altitude of this small mountain refuge, it has a ‘high mountain’ feel due to the nearby high summits (Jocelme, Aupillous and Bans).
Out of season, the refuge is open but not manned. For groups, it is possible to reserve a warden. Requests to be made to the wardens.
Set in a wonderful, wild valley, the Bans refuge is the Pays des Écrins' family refuge. Indeed, at less than two hours’ walk, access to this high mountain refuge is possible for the whole family, a perfect opportunity for youngsters to discover life in a refuge. For mountaineering, it is the start point for the Bans massif, Coste Counier, Le Diable par la Queue…magnificent routes to explore in summer. It is a Club Alpin Français refuge that can accommodate 22 and is manned from June to mid-September. Catering possible when it is manned. Reservation necessary.
