Plan de l'Aiguille Refuge

Highlight • Rest Area

Great refuge and restaurant located a few minutes walk from Plan de l'Aiguille (first station from the Aiguille du Midi cable car). Highly recommended for an overnight stay — the dorms are small and private. A great goal for a family adventure in the mountains.
