At the Refuge du Pré de Madame Carle

Experience the Wild Mountain

Lovers of the Vallouise Valley and the Glacier Blanc, we are delighted to welcome you to the Pré de Madame Carle, whether for a moment of conversation, a drink, a meal, or an overnight stay.

The Pré de Madame Carle is the gateway to the Écrins National Park and the starting point for hiking in summer or ski touring in spring.

The chalet refuge at the Pré de Madame Carle is located at the foot of Mont Pelvoux and the Écrins, above the hamlet of Ailefroide, precisely where the Glacier Noir and the Glacier Blanc once met. It is the natural base camp for exploring this legendary place and easily venturing towards the glaciers.

By staying at the Pré de Madame Carle refuge, you will have the opportunity to observe mountain wildlife outside the busy hours of the day. What a wonder it is to see chamois and marmots reclaim their territory.

The Atmosphere of a Mountain Refuge

The first sip of beer after your mountain adventure, the smell of crêpes taking you back to childhood, the gentle sway of a hammock rocking you in the shade of the larches…

And also, the crackle of the rescue radio announcing tomorrow’s weather, the steaming bowl of soup, the evening by the fire dreaming of the highest peaks, the Little Prince you might glimpse as you lift your eyes to the starry sky…

And finally, the dance of headlamps guiding your silent departure towards the high summits…

These are the simple pleasures that await you at 1,874 meters of altitude, at the refuge of Pré de Madame Carle.
