Mountain refuge Abri de fortune du Chalet de Pertuis

Between Annecy and the Parmelan

On the Dingy-Saint-Clair , within the High Savoy and in the environment of the reliefs that link with the Parmelan , this free shelter is 1575 meters, near the cabbage sector du Pertuis. Its position fits better as a support coat on long routes that pass through the area than as an isolated destination: through here they pass or approach itineraries such as the Bouchle du Parmelan , GR 96 and Tour du Lac d'Annecy , in addition to other traces of the Tournette- Aravis massif.

Practical use and limits

The altitude is not extreme, but it is sufficient for time to change quickly and for the progression to be noticed more when the itinerary wins, changes orientation or enters more open ground. In this type of prepirenaic-alpine relief, a sunny slope can alternate with more dark and humid sections, something that influences the state of the path and the pace of march. That is why it is necessary to understand it as a point of protection within a mountain day, not as a place to take for granted a complete logistics.

Water deserves prior attention. The nearest registered source is about 1.88 km, so it is not appropriate to have immediate supply next to the coat. If there is a long journey or exit through this part of Auvergne-Rhône- Alpes, it is wise to go out with sufficient autonomy and to check the actual conditions of the journey first. The closeness of levels as Tête Ronde or Tête à Turpin It helps to place it on a ground of medium and high mountain where the local orientation, weather and continuity of the itinerary weigh more than the distance on the map.
