Our janitors Stéphanie, Lise and Anne Marie welcome you at the bottom of the Clarée valley. The refuge is ideally located in an area rich in lakes, at the start of a wide variety of itineraries.

Les Drayères. Ideally located in an area rich in lakes, the refuge is the starting point for a wide variety of ski itineraries in the Haute Clarée. In winter, opening and closing dates may be subject to change due to weather conditions. We strongly advise you to phone before going up, and to have a guide with you.

Friendly and authentic:

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The refuge team welcomes you by reservation for one or more nights with half-board, for lunch, or without a reservation for a drink or afternoon snack.

In the dining room, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the valley floor. In each dormitory, duvets and pillows are provided; a sleeping bag liner is mandatory. Two hot showers are available for guests for a fee.

We offer simple, entirely homemade cuisine, using mostly organic or local products. With reservation (at least 24 hours in advance), we also prepare packed lunches for your hikes the following day. During the day, we serve lunches between 12 pm and 2 pm (reservations required), as well as drinks and snacks available continuously on the sunny terrace or inside by the wood-burning stove. In the evening, a communal dinner is served at 7 pm. A supplement is charged for guests with special dietary requirements.

Please note: bivouacking is prohibited by municipal decree within a 500-meter radius of the refuge. We do not offer showers or half-board to bivouackers, who can, however, refill their water supplies and use our outdoor toilets.

The refuge belongs to the FFCAM (French Federation of Alpine and Mountain Clubs), which collects the fees for overnight stays and maintains the building. We can accommodate 56 people in dormitories of 6 and 8 beds. Outside of staffed periods, you have access to the dining room and four 8-bed dormitories (with blankets). You must be self-sufficient with your own cooking gas and pay for your stay in the collection box inside the refuge.

Reservations for overnight stays and half-board are made online, with a prepayment of €10 per person per night.
