Refuge de la Fournache
Description
Discover the Fournache refuge, overlooking the Plan d'Amont and Plan d'Aval dams at the foot of the Dent Parrachée, at an altitude of 2340m on the edge of the Vanoise National Park and on the GR5.
It is primarily a stage on the tour of the glaciers of the Vanoise.
The refuge was built in stone, wood and slate in the purest mountain tradition, in place of a former Alpine chalet. The wooden interior offers a modern refuge while maintaining an authentic character. It enjoys an exceptional view over Lake Plan d'Amont and Plan d'Aval.
