The chalet is the ideal place to be for climbing the peak of Mas de la Grave, which with its 3021 m is 'one of the most beautiful panoramic viewpoint in the Alps.'

Portrait of the host :
Le refuge s’appelle aussi «chez Polyte», surnom du dernier propriétaire d’une maison d’alpage tombée en ruine. Denis et son fils Victor décident d'en faire un refuge de montagne. Pari réussi. Après 2 ans de travaux titanesques, le Refuge du Pic du Mas de Grave ouvre ses portes.À 1944 m d’altitude, le bâtiment est en totale autonomie énergétique : poêle à bois, eau chaude solaire, panneaux photovoltaïques. Une source captée fournit l’eau. Pour une simple étape ou pour poser son sac plusieurs jours, le refuge, moderne et douillet, propose des dortoirs de 4 à 6 places. Avec de délicieux repas réconfortants, un sauna, une vue incroyable sur le massif de la Meije, l’endroit est idéal pour une parenthèse loin des trépidations de la vie moderne.
