Access

- From the south: Take the D939 (which passes in front of the Rio Sourd waterfall) towards Glandage. Continue straight ahead at the road junction to the village of Borne. Parking is 350 m after the hamlet exit (beware in winter: this is where the snowplow makes its U-turn...). A marked trail leads up to the Refuge de La Tour in 1 hour 30 minutes. Well signposted. Admire the vertical blades of the "Sucettes de Borne" along the way. - From the north: At the Col de Menée, take a pastoral road heading southeast to the Jiboui cabin. From there, head south-southeast to the Col de Jiboui, where a trail descends to the hut. Approximately the same walking time.
