More than a refuge, Font Turbat is a world apart in one of the most confidential valleys of Les Ecrins.
Getting there : From the car park of Le Désert en Valjoufrey, take the path going east through the hamlet of Les Charmettes and continue along the brook in the bottom of the valley. You encounter a first waterfall, then the cascade de la Pisse at the place called La Ferrière. After a while you pass close to the cabin of Châtellerat, keep going along the brook in the bottom of the valley. Once arrived at the cabin of La Maye, you almost get to the refuge of Font-Turbat.
