Rifugio Elena and Glacier View

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Hut

quite pedalable climb with a MTB, if with an e-MTB then it is very easy. Wide and unexposed road, dirt road without particular roughness

Rifugio Elena

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Elena refuge is a nice stopover refuge on the TMB at an altitude of 2,062 m, perfect for a short break before tackling the ascent of the Grand Col Ferret. It faces the thousand-year-old Pré de Bard glacier. It is named after the granddaughter of a local shepherd.
