Description

the Plateau of Le Fourchu, where sleep a hundred lakes, lies at 2000 meters above sea level. Its endemic flora and fauna readily recall the northern tundra landscapes. The refuge is located in this unique setting; the path accessible for all ages.

The landscape you’ll pass through is reminiscent of the northern tundra, dotted with a myriad of small lakes and frog-filled ponds. Some of these bodies of water contain fossilized tree trunks in their sediments, evidence of the forest that once stood here 6,000 years ago. The entire plateau is designated as a Natura 2000 site, part of the European network of outstanding natural habitats.
Come enjoy the orientation table located 50 meters from the shelter, which offers a panoramic view of all the mountains of the Oisans.
