Refuge de L'Aigle (3450m), Les Deux Alpes region

High altitude refuge in one of the most stunning sites of the Ecrins National Park

featured in Mountain Huts Updated 29 April 2025

Perched at 3,450m above the Romanche valley, this is one of the most extraordinary sites of the Oisans, near the north side of the Meije.

This warm and rustic refuge was first built in 1913, and then rebuilt in 2014 designed to exist in harmony with its remote mountain environment.

Sleeping 30 people, this is a fairly large refuge and offers great access to some fantastic mountains in the area, making it an excellent base for climbers and mountaineers.

The refuge is staffed from March to early-May and from early-June to September, depending on weather conditions. The refuge is open but unstaffed during winter, where there will be duvets available but no water or gas.
