If in doubt, don't hesitate to contact mountain professionals. - Make sure you're properly equipped for safe hiking and weather conditions. - This hike is best done in summer, when there's no more snow. - Passage through scree just before reaching the refuge. When hiking, there are a few things you can do to make your experience safer and more enjoyable. Walking poles (even on the road) improve balance, and regular hydration is essential.
