Abri de Villy

Abri de Villy is a simple backcountry shelter in France at about 2330 m. It is also known locally as Abri du Col des Chaux. It is best planned as a self-sufficient stopover rather than a staffed lodging service.

Known practical details include sleeping or shelter capacity around 2, basic sleeping platforms or bedding surfaces. Bring a sleeping bag, food, lighting, a first-aid kit, water or a treatment method, toilet paper, and pack-out bags; add stove/fuel and cold-weather or avalanche equipment when the season and terrain require it.

Use the surrounding area for hiking, mountain travel, ski touring, or other backcountry travel appropriate to the local trail network and conditions. Use is generally treated as no-fee, but access rules can change.
