Clinging to the rocks on the ridge leading up to the Meije, it is like the prow of a ship dominating the sheer drop. It's a refuge for mountaineers, but also a wonderful excursion for seasoned hikers!
In the heart of the Parc National des Ecrins, the Promontoire refuge is "the" refuge of the Meije and offers a breathtaking view of the Vallon des Etançons.

It is the starting point for climbers on the Brèche de la Meije and the mythical traverse of the Meije to the Aigle refuge.
In winter and spring, it is also a stage on the Tour de la Meije ski tour.
