Mountain refuge Habert des Sabottes

Water and autonomy

Before putting it as a step stop, the basic logistics should be clear: Habert des Sabottes at 1760 meters, the Fontaine du Habert des Sabottes practically by the shelter. Even so, in mountain, the real availability may vary according to the time, so it is still wise to leave with water margin and sufficient autonomy. The altitude and character of the sector also require rapid changes in time and a well-measured day, especially if necklaces or crest are linked.

Between forests and summits

This habert is located at the end of Saint-Mury-Monteymond , in Isère, within an environment that works as a transition between valley access and a clearly more alpine land. There are reliefs like the Pointe de la Sitre , Petite Lance du Crozet or Petite Lance de Domène , which help to understand the role of the shelter: not so much as an isolated destination, but as a support to gain height and to approach an area of pests, lomas and cords where the orientation and state of the land become more relevant.

It also fits as an intermediate point for those who travel itineraries in the area of Lacs Robert , the axis Col des Lessines - Les Vannes or Chemin d'Assise . This combination of nearby routes makes it useful both in long days and in long days with several links, without the need to go back down to the bottom of the valley. Because of the type of land suggested by the nearby routes and summits, it is more useful for mountain-like trails than for improvised exits: weather, water, orientation and time range should be provided before use. Habert des Sabottes as a step-by-step support.
