Refuge des Écrins

Access usually is from the village of Ailefroide in the French Alps and a 2-hour hike further than the Refuge du Glacier Blanc.

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.

Caron was also elected Président du Conseil Municipal de Paris in 1909.

[1][2][3] The first guardian of the refuge Caron was a local guide named Milou Cortial.

In 1922 a larger wooden hut was built by the firm Bayrou, who exhibited it first in Briançon.
