Refuge de Platé
In winter, the refuge becomes unguarded, but remains open to all adventurers.
Description
At the top of the ladder, a simple but welcoming winter dormitory awaits you, offering 6 beds with mattresses and blankets. Simply pack your warm sleeping bag and enjoy this unique space in the heart of nature.
Complément accueil
There is no heating, electricity or picnic room on site. Please leave with your rubbish. Finally, as we are in the Désert... de Platé, there is no water point.
