Palet Refuge
Highlight • Mountain Hut
It is open and guarded for the summer season from mid-June to the end of September and for spring skiing from mid-February to the end of April.
The bivouac is authorized within the limits of an area determined by the Vanoise National Park, which owns the refuge, in order to preserve the local fauna and flora.
The refuge is accessible in unguarded mode during the month of October and the first fifteen days of June. Wood, gas, dishes, and blankets are available for hikers on site, but there is no running water. Payment of a fee is requested.
The refuge is located at the intersection of three valleys (Tignes, Champagny and Peisey-Nancroix) so the refuge enjoys an exceptional location and a panorama on the north face of the highest peak of the Vanoise: the Grande Casse.

View of Tignes and Lake from the Cross
Highlight • Viewpoint
The surprising view is completely unobstructed over the winter sports resort of Tignes. On beautiful summer days, the color of the lake turns emerald.
