A "solid" refuge on a large flat, near two lakes, but in a high mountain site with nearby glaciers, and facing the long border ridge of the Levanna.
At an altitude of 2760m, in the wild setting of the Vanoise, the Carro refuge welcomes you, nestled between white lake and black lake, facing the glacial massif of Albaron.
The guards welcome you for family hikes or climbs facing Gran Paradiso.

Park your car at the Ecot parking lot, then follow the dirt road down the "La Duis" valley (you're entering the Vanoise National Park: no motorized vehicles allowed).
At "La Tulière", take the small path on the left (note the small sign!).
The path winds its way up through the mountain pastures, over the stone bridge at the foot of the Montet waterfall, then meets the balcony path above to reach the refuge.
