Refuge de Pré Clos

The place

Unstaffed, open-access refuge at 1830 m, on a small grassy terrace with a clear view over the Ubaye massif, in the Embrunais area (Hautes-Alpes, managed by the ONF). Sleeps 6: table and benches on the ground floor, a sleeping loft on wooden boards upstairs. Well-insulated roof, keeping the dormitory mild even without heating. A fine spring and its basin nearby. Access from Embrun via the hamlet of Caléyère, then the road to the Forêt car park (1587 m), continuing on the Sentier des Fontainiers to the clearing where the refuge stands.
