Refuge de la Fournache

Discover the Fournache refuge, overlooking the Plan d'Amont and Plan d'Aval dams at the foot of the Dent Parrachée, at an altitude of 2340m on the edge of the Vanoise National Park and the GR5.

Description

Above all, it's your stopover on the Vanoise glacier tour.
The refuge was built from stone, wood and slate in the purest mountain tradition, in place of an old alpine chalet. The wooden interior offers a modern refuge, while retaining its authentic character. It enjoys an exceptional panorama overlooking the Plan d'Amont and Plan d'Aval lakes.
