Brunissard is part of the commune of Arvieux. The hamlet is located in a beautiful valley at the foot of the Col d'Izoard.

The village of Arvieux is thus grouped together, but also La Chalp and Brunissard. The inhabitants, on the other hand, are known only as Arvidans.

Refuge Napoléon Col d'Izoard

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Refuge Napoléon is a place you must stop during your bike ride over the Col d'Izoard. Nowhere else do the cakes taste as good as here. And that is not because of the sweet taste of your victory at the Izoard, but because the pastry here is really good. You will find the Refuge Napoléon after a kilometer descent from the north side of the Col d'Izoard, or in the last kilometer of your climb (but do you stop for cake?). Sit on the terrace, enjoy the view and be pampered.
