Refuge Adèle Planchard
Adèle Planchard bequeathed her fortune to build the refuge punctuating the ascent route of the Grande Ruine. Despite its “high mountain” environment, its long access walk remains simple and superb, accessible to any hiker...or almost!
The refuge is the second highest perched in the Ecrins massif.
Located in the Massif des Ecrins, Grande Ruine group in Briançonnais, this refuge is a belvedere on the Barre des Ecrins. When you arrive there, you will discover the world of the high mountains.
From the refuge, you will have a very beautiful view of the enfilade of the Summit of Pic de Neige Cordier up to La Roche Méane which peaks at 3765 m (Pointe Breevort).
Access from the foot of the pass (5 hours) on a marked trail. In summer, no technical equipment is required.
In spring the refuge is also kept for the ski touring season, as the first stage of the Tour de la Meije, or for the ascent of the Great Ruin!
