Mountain refuge Baraque des Clos

Between the Two Sœurs and the Moucherolle

The next summits mark the nature of the sector: calcareous reliefs, fast-changing slopes and a clear transition between forest land, more open areas and stony sections of the Vercors . In this context, Baraque des Clos , in the term of Le Gua and at 1,600 meters, it fits as support on itineraries where the day can be extended to the line of crest of Les Deux Sœurs - Dôme de l'Àille , La Petite Sœur - Sophie or to La Petite Moucherolle . More than an isolated destination, it works as a useful reference for those who cross this sector and need to order progression according to meteor tiredness or time margin.

Their interest is increased by the relationship with long-breath tours such as the Traversée du Vercors Nord-Sud for GR 91 , Tour du Vercors à pied and Tour des 4 Montagnes . This makes it a logical point for starting a journey, linking variants or saving yourself before facing more exposed ground in height. The logistics should be put forward with autonomy: the registered sources are not immediate and the nearest one is just over 2 kilometres, so it is not wise to have water next to the shelter without checking conditions. In an area where the relief forces us to move from more comfortable trails to more mineral mountain sections, this coat is especially useful when the day changes in rhythm and it takes an intermediate point before going on to hills, cords or back down to the valleys of the surroundings of Grenoble and Isère.
