Adele Planchard is this lady who bequeathed his fortune to build the refuge, punctuating the ascent itirenary of the Grande Ruine.
Despite its 'high mountain' environment , its long access walk is simple and beautiful.

From the refuge, you have a beautiful view of the row of Summit Peak Neige Cordier to La Roche Méane which rises to 3765 m (Pointe Breevort). Pied du Col access pass (5h) on a marked trail. During Summer there is no need of technical equipment.
