Asked before a “refuge nights” day

What equipment should I bring to the refuge?

Bring warm clothing, a suitable sleeping bag, a headlamp, comfortable hiking boots, toiletries, and your personal medications. The refuge provides mattresses and additional blankets.

Are meals included at the refuge?

Yes, a warm dinner in the evening and breakfast before departure are included. Meals are simple but hearty, suited to mountain activity. Please inform us of any allergies or dietary requirements in advance.

At what altitude is the refuge located?

Mountain refuges are generally located between 3,000 and 3,200 meters altitude. It is normal to feel the effects of altitude: drink plenty of water, ascend at your own pace, and tell your guide if you feel unwell.
