Refuge du Carro (FFCAM)

Bonneval-sur-Arc

Display information in

The highest refuge in Savoie, ideal for acclimatization nights before climbing Mont Blanc or Grand Paradis.

Description

A "solid" refuge on a large flat, next to two lakes, but in a high-mountain setting with nearby glaciers, and facing the long Levanna border ridge.
At an altitude of 2760m, in the wilds of the Vanoise, the Carro refuge welcomes you, nestled between lac blanc and lac noir, facing the glacial Albaron massif.
The wardens welcome you for family hikes or climbs facing the Grand Paradis!
