Add article description


Refuge des Écrins is a refuge in the Alps, in the French department of Hautes-Alpes. It stands at 3170 metres high, above the Glacier Blanc. Access usually is from the village of Ailefroide in the French Alps and a 2-hour hike further than the Refuge du Glacier Blanc.

Refuge des Écrins

The hut trail runs for the most part immediately above the glacier and should only be attempted by fully equipped high-altitude alpinists because of the danger of falling into a crevasse. The high alpine base with 119 beds is often overbooked during the peak season.
