Access

Mainly: - from the west, starting from Entre-deux-Eaux and Plan du Lac (see these names), along the left bank of the Leisse stream. About 4 hours' walk from the Bellecombe car park, or about 2 hours 15 minutes from the "Entre-deux-Eaux" shuttle stop which goes up from Termignon (via Bellecombe). - from the northeast, coming from Tignes (Val Claret), via the Col de la Leisse in about 3 hours 30 minutes if there is no snow on the col.

Good to know

- 2023: staffed from 1 March to 30 April and from 17 June to 15 September. The bivouac area is above the hut. Bivouac costs €5 per person (common rate in the heart of the Park). The shower is not guaranteed from mid-August or in case of drought. The spring dries up at the end of the season. Check the following page for the current situation: https://www.vanoise-parcnational.fr/fr/des-decouvertes/sejourner-dans-le-parc/en-cas-de-secheresse-gardez-lesprit-refuge The dry room is accessible. Gas is included in the bivouac or overnight stay rate. If you need something, do not hesitate to ask. For routes on the north face of Sana, the climb is done very early in the season: crevassed glacier, rockfalls in the left part of the face. For the Grande Motte, passages and skier falls are possible. Start early (be at the summit by 8 or 9 a.m. at the latest) and carefully follow the right (south) edge of the Grande Motte glacier.
