New : now it exists a path between the "Bonhomme" 's refuge and the "Col de la Seigne", passing through "Robert Blanc" 's refuge. (technical form and pictures)

Refuge "Robert Blanc", is located in the "Mont Blanc" 's massif just below the "Aiguille des Glaciers". It's really well situated because it could be as well the starting point of alpinism climbing, as well a break for family walkers who come here to discover the valley in one or two days. It also exists some climbing ways in the slopes of the "Mont Tondu" (guide book at the refuge)

Access: By car or free shuttle (recommended) from the Chapieux's village, up to Bourg St Maurice, to the parking of "Les Lanchettes" and then by walk through a beautiful path. The climb takes about 2 hours and a half facing the beautiful glacier "des Glaciers".

Alpinism from the refuge :
L'aiguille des Glaciers (3816m)
La petite aiguille des Glaciers (3468m)
Le dôme de neige des Glaciers ( 3592m)
Le mont Tondu (3196m)
