Gioberney Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nestled at an altitude of 1,650 meters, the Gioberney refuge is located at the end of the Valgaudemar valley. Its parking lot is often popular with hikers during peak season. The views from the terrace are superb and overlook a beautiful waterfall.

August 12, 2021,Barre des Ecrins-Nationalpark, Gioberney – Lac du Lauzon Runde von D 480

Wonderful short tour (can be extended at will, mountain hut, glacier ...). Duration around 3 hours and 6.5 km (My recording does not quite fit because it has paused in the meantime. The path is well trodden and cannot be missed and can be easily recognized from my photos)
Right behind Ordesa and Gavarnie on my list of the best. …
