Le Refuge de Chalin is an unguarded refuge in a spectacular location in the Dents du Midi. The refuge is essentially a very rustic cabin, don't expect fondue or espresso! What the shelter loses in hospitality, it makes up in location. An excellent ridge walk takes you to a high point at the head of Chalin, overlooking the Chalin Glacier and Pointe Nevé. It is possible to stay overnight in the shelter, but make sure you follow the correct procedure to do so.
