Good to know
- Refuge staffed in winter by reservation only. No unstaffed shelter outside staffed periods. - For hygiene reasons we ask you to bring a sleeping-bag liner. - We regrettably cannot accept our four-legged friends overnight at the refuge. Refuge de Loriaz is located between Chamonix and the Swiss border. This former alpine pasture at the heart of the Aiguilles Rouges massif offers an exceptional panorama over the famous Aiguille Verte and the Mont-Blanc massif.
