This
refuge is being converted in readiness for this coming season. If you
are passionate off-piste skier and enjoy absolute peace and ‘jaw-dropping’
views then consider this refuge situated about 3miles from the resort
where your only neighbours are the mountains. This is not a simple log
cabin, but a refuge with 6 spacious bedrooms (each with en-suite steam
rooms) and 1 suite (with steam room and private Jacuzzi), there is also
a communal Jacuzzi. All rooms are equipped with satellite TV, access to
the Internet and of course remarkable views.
The lodge proposes a half board service with excellent wholesome meals
good wine and like-minded company. There is a cosy bar for exchanging
ideas and stories of the days adventures.
Transport and Access - This is the really exciting part!
On the arrival day you will be met in the resort by a converted piste
basher to collect you and your luggage, the journey lasts about 15 minutes
depending on conditions.
For all other days the refuge offers a service costing 15euros, which
buys a return trip by skidoo to the main ski lift area meeting you at
the end of the day. There are however 2 off-piste runs which link up close
to the refuge (a pick-up can also be arranged). For those looking for
a little more excitement there is a landing area outside the refuge for
helicopters and light airplanes (around 77 € between 4 people),
so you can change your mode of transport to and from the resort.
Other Activities :
- Skidoos are available to hire to explore the surrounding area in the
evenings or perhaps during the day taking a picnic with you.
- Hire of equipment is also available.
- Kites to ski or snowboard with are on site for hire - plus a little
tuition!
-Occasional taxi service to the resort for those wishing to sample the
nightlife.
Notes to consider :

experience life with the mountain (but with a certain comfort). To take
full advantage of this superb location you need to be confident on skis
or a board on all off-piste slopes.
All areas within the Refuge are non-smoking.
This is a ‘hotel’ reserved for adults.
