Refuge du Nid d'Aigle
5.9 km

Refuge du Nid d'Aigle

Situated close to the arrival of the Mont Blanc Tramway, the Nid d'Aigle refuge, built in a circular arc, is particularly well integrated into the landscape. Please note that reception conditions will change this summer 2025 due to the TMB works. SUMMER 2025 Due to ongoing work on the Mont Blanc tramway, access to the Nid d'Aigle will be modified this summer. There are two ways to get to the refuge: - On foot, via the Plat de l'Are path, with a 985 m difference in altitude and a cabled passage ("échelles"). This hike is rated as "difficult" and requires you to be well equipped. At the start of the season, check that the path is cleared of snow if you are not a mountaineer. - By train, subject to conditions: > The tramway is reserved for mountaineers with a confirmed reservation in a hut on the normal route (Nid d'Aigle, Tête Rousse or Goûter) > Tickets must be booked in advance, > And be sure to check the "mountaineer" timetable, as not all trains run to the Nid d'Aigle during the construction work. Facing the Pointe Percée, the highest point in the Aravis massif, and dominated by the Aiguilles du Goûter (3,863m) and Bionnassay (4,052m), our terrace is an ideal place for contemplation. The impressive Bionnassay glacier is just a stone's throw away: early risers are likely to come across an ibex on its moraine. Climbers returning late from the roof of Europe are always welcome: they can even reward themselves with a fondue! The dormitories are equipped with duvets and pillows, so all you need is a personal sheet. Sanitary facilities are available outside the refuge. There are no showers. For those who wish to cook for themselves, we can provide a non-sack room: remember to bring your own cooking equipment. Our cook can also prepare pasta, omelettes and cold meats for you throughout the day.
