Located within the Vallée de la Clarée valley, the road to the hut is gravel. Road closures can be frequent, so check conditions before traveling to this area. It’s a lonely road, with a rough surface. It really has a spectacular setting at the head of the valley looking down over beautiful scenery and up to breath-taking peaks.
