Refuge Robert Blanc

A small high-mountain refuge clinging to a ridge at 2,750 m facing the Glaciers Glacier, on an alpine route that parallels the TMB between the Croix du Bonhomme and the Col de la Seigne via the Thomas Roques path. Its organic, local cooking, with sourdough bread baked on site, has a good reputation. The crossings from the Croix du Bonhomme (about 6 hr) or towards the Col de la Seigne include cabled sections and late-lying snowfields: they are reserved for experienced hikers, from mid-July to September. The easiest access starts from Les Mottets (about 2 hr 30 min via the Lanchettes parking lot).
