Additional information

long description

The Refuge du Grand Bec is accessible to children, parents, grandparents, walkers, climbers, mountaineers or other riders. The babysitter, originally from the Pyérénées, will be very happy to welcome you up there and to share with you moments of conviviality. It offers a sunny cuisine with southern accents. At the start of the refuge, you can then take a short walk towards one of the hiking routes that criss-cross the landscapes at the borders of the Vanoise National Park. Mountaineers and climbers can try their hand at the Grand Bec rock, from the point of the Vuzelle.
