Refuge du Fay
Description
We have owned and run the family-oriented Refuge du Fay for 43 years! The welcome committee is made up of chickens, goats and horses, which are sure to please the youngest family members!
Please note: this site has been awarded the Natura 2000 label and is subject to numerous measures to preserve its biodiversity. We therefore invite you to adopt the right reflexes when you come to protect this sensitive area.
The Plateau itself is a little corner of paradise, with a wide variety of alpine flowers in June and July, numerous marmot colonies close to the refuge, grasshoppers, butterflies and dragonflies around the lakes, as well as larks, golden eagles and, more recently, vultures from the south (around sixty of them). Emparis has also always been a renowned alpine pasture: the trail is an ideal opportunity to meet the shepherds, their dogs and their thousands of sheep.

Location complements
Starting point: Mizoen / Besse en Oisans From Mizoen Les Aymes, the path follows the path GR50-54 (Tour du Dauphiné) that leads up to the Refuge des Clots (walkers can also make a detour via the discovery path) : take a break and admire the huge Cascade de la Pisse and the view! Then continue the steep climb up to the plateau and you will see the mountain hut on your left in a bend of the track. Hikers can also start from Besse en Oisans or Le Chazelet, in both cases following the GR54 path. Mountain bikers can take the track (about 15 km), which can also be used by sturdy vehicles in dry and clear weather.
