In the heart of the Grandes Rousses massif, the Fare refuge offers, from its 134 years of history, an authentic atmosphere.

It is a small, intimate, family-friendly refuge with quick access, located in a magnificent and very wild setting. It welcomes those curious about a first night in a refuge, passing hikers and mountaineers who come to discover the surrounding medium and high mountain routes, between lakes and peaks. Experiencing an evening, a night, an early morning at the Fare refuge, these are strong moments and unforgettable memories.

Food and drinks all day, local products…
From the refuge it is possible to practice certain activities, such as fishing, mountaineering, climbing and hiking. Reservation required by telephone.
