Clinging to the rocks on the ridge leading up to the Meije, it is like the prow of a ship dominating the sheer drop. It's a refuge for mountaineers, but also a wonderful excursion for seasoned hikers!

This is the refuge de la Meije, and the race begins as soon as you pass through the door (atmosphere guaranteed). Departure for the Brèche de la Meije or the mythical traverse of the Meije to the Aigle refuge.
Breathtaking views over the Vallon des Etançons.

From La Bérarde: (Height gain 1380 m, duration 5h)
Walk up to the Refuge du Châtelleret (2h). From Le Châtelleret, carry on up the Étançons valley, crossing the moraines of the ancient glacier. At 2900m, you have two options:
- either the standard, easier route, going east (left uphill) to reach the foot of the glacier then going west (right) along the glacier but without walking on it, until you reach the hut. There are numerous cairns marking the way. At the beginning of the season, snow remains at the top of the ascent to the hut.
- or by a more alpine route (climbing gear essential) by climbing straight up the Promontoire ridge, which is fitted with a via-ferrata type cable.

From La Grave: (Height gain 1110 m, duration 4h30, Rating PD 3b ll P4)
By the Brèche de la Meije, north side, via the Enfetchores (hiking guide and map essential).
After the climb up to the Enfetchores, carry on to the Meije gap (3357m) then go down the south face to the Promontoire hut (belay points and abseils re-equipped in 2011).
