Refuge De Maljasset

Amazing for a refuge that claims the French Alpine Club (CAF) to refuse picnics, while taking a consumption. Not ethical in the high mountains!

2 passages in this refuge, group of 7 hikers. Sleep at 7 at the top of the cottage with possibility of loading phones and gps. But you have to go down a stiff wooden staircase to access the toilet and dining room. Showers, toilets, washbasins in good condition (probably remade recently) but a bit of traffic when the shelter is full of... The evening meal is good but little copied in quantity (especially for hikers), picnic of the next day very light ...... Small nice terrace corner but we drank 4 hot beers when we arrived....desolating considering the price of the bottle. The guardian couple is welcoming, but we were disappointed by the consistency of meals. If you are embarrassed by flies for the meal, it is better to eat outside.... Our less good memory on the 7 stages of our stay.

No service. On the panel is written no network, no wifi. You should add: No hello No smile No goodbye. We're not using you, come get to the counter. Apart from that, no pb:

Out of season (12 Jan. , Siberian type time, no one around, snow desert, ice, cold and wind... And, surprise, open refuge. Only customers. A warm welcome at the corner of the fire, smiling, nice. We exchange on the country, its famous men, mountain life, summits, marble quarries, we philosophe in front of a great Italian hot chocolate and biscuits... I only tell you that. Run quickly to visit this super nice couple and cultivated in one of the most beautiful regions of France: the Haute Ubaye.

This refuge is very conveniently located at the end of the road to the wild valley of the Haute-Ubaye, and the restaurant terrace offers a magnificent view of the Head of Miéjour, the Pointe de Mary, and the amazing sommital green rocks of the Bric de Rubren Mongioia (3340m), among others. The refuge is held by a friendly and very helpful couple who serves you at any time a perfect mountain restoration. Pasta is excellent, as well as homemade desserts. You will certainly not regret to make a welcome stop there after the hike. In fact, some people have chosen to spend their holidays there!
