Following the severe storms that occurred on June 21, 2024, access to the Vénéon valley is complicated, particularly with the ban on all traffic on the road to La Bérarde (RD530) from the Pré Clot hamlet (after the village of Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans). Free shuttle services are available upon reservation from Bourg-d'Oisans to the Combe de Pierre Noire between Les Étages and La Bérarde. Access to the La Bérarde hamlet is strictly prohibited, including on foot; alternative hiking routes are provided. Trails in the valley have been affected to varying degrees by these storms. Keep in mind that travel times and elevation gains may no longer be reliable, and topo guides may not be accurate until further notice. Upstream from Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, a small road branches off and heads northwest. From there, the path, then a trail, heads north, crosses the Selle stream and continues along its right bank, gently ascending northeast then east to about 2300 m. After about 7 km along this valley, the final 400 m of elevation gain takes about 4 hours, or 5 hours at a leisurely pace.
The hut opens in spring according to the opening dates of the refuges around the Meije and is not guarded but left for self-management with a fee of 11 € per night. It is guarded from June to September. 2025 dates: guarded from May 30 to mid-September depending on weather conditions. The hut closes much earlier than expected on August 12 due to a lack of water. 15 places remain available outside the guarded period.
