Description
A very pleasant hike along the Eau de Bérard, partly through larch undergrowth: on the edge of the Vallon de Bérard Nature Reserve.
Take the path above the Hôtel du Buet. Walk up the meadow to the Cascade de Bérard chalet. Continue through a beautiful larch forest, and through a deep gorge, reach the first plateau: Fontaine Froide. Further up, cross the torrent at Pont de la Vordette (1,528 m) and climb a rocky escarpment to the second plateau. A succession of flats leads to the foot of the final slope. Cross the Eau de Bérard and, after a few hairpin bends, reach the refuge under a large stone.
From 01/06 to 31/10 daily between 12 am and 11.59 pm.
The refuge is open from June 20 to August 31.
Subject to favorable snow and weather conditions.
