Mountain refuge Refuge de Bise

Reference in the Bise sector

It is appropriate not to take for granted more services than are confirmed and to propose the day with basic autonomy, although in the vicinity there is a very close source. In the sector of Bise, within the term of La Chapelle-d'Abondance and in the French Alta Savoy, this shelter works mainly as a step support and as a clear reference of orientation in a mountain valley where several itinerary decisions are made before gaining height. At 1502 meters, it remains in a useful middle level to order the progression, whether it is entered through the bottom of the valley or linked with nearby slopes and crests.

Bise Refuge It fits well in hiking days with continuity, rather than as an isolated destination. By its position, it can serve to reorganize the route, divide a route or value a withdrawal if the time changes or the terrain above is complicated. In its surroundings there are itineraries known as Balcon du Léman , Les Bords de Dranse or Tour des Portes du Soleil , in addition to access to Dent d'Oche , which reinforces its role as a support point in an area with variable mountain transit. The nearby relief, with summits such as Pointe de Bénévent or Mont Chauffé, indicates a terrain of medium and high mountain where the orientation remains important outside the most obvious tracks. This is why it is important to carry a reliable map or mapping, to anticipate rapid changes in meteorology and to confirm before leaving any practical aspect that may condition the day.
