Refuge de la Dent Parrachée

Refuge de la Dent Parrachée is a mountain refuge located in the Savoie department of France, within the Massif de la Vanoise range. It sits at an altitude of 2,511 metres (8,238 ft) above sea level. The refuge is part of the Refuges Vanoise network, which operates several mountain huts in the Vanoise National Park area, including Refuge de Peclet Polset, Refuge de l'Arpont, Refuge de l'Orgère, and Refuge Auberge de Bellecombe. These refuges serve hikers and mountaineers exploring the Tour des Glaciers de la Vanoise, a multi-day trek that can be completed in 4 to 7 days depending on the itinerary. The refuge provides accommodation and services for visitors in both summer and winter, though winter access is more demanding and suited to experienced, well-equipped practitioners. As a mountain refuge, it offers basic lodging, meals, and a base for high-altitude activities in the Vanoise National Park.

Refuge de la Dent Parrachée is a mountain refuge in the Savoie department of France, situated in the Massif de la Vanoise at an altitude of 2,511 metres. It is one of several refuges operated within the Vanoise National Park area, a network that includes Refuge de Peclet Polset, Refuge de l'Arpont, Refuge de l'Orgère, and Refuge Auberge de Bellecombe. These refuges support the Tour des Glaciers de la Vanoise, a long-distance hiking route that traverses the park and can be completed in 4 to 7 days. The refuge serves as a key stopover for hikers and mountaineers, offering shelter and basic services in a high-alpine environment. While the exact founding date of the refuge is not documented in the available sources, it has long been part of the infrastructure that enables multi-day treks in the Vanoise. In winter, the area takes on a more serious character, with snow and silence, and some routes become itinerant winter journeys reserved for experienced and well-equipped practitioners. The refuge remains an active part of the Refuges Vanoise network, welcoming visitors in both summer and winter seasons.
