Refuge de Gigord

Refuge de Gigord is a backcountry hut in France at about 1301 m. It is also known locally as Cabane forestiere de la Source du Jas. It is best planned as a self-sufficient stopover rather than a staffed lodging service.

Known practical details include sleeping or shelter capacity around 16, fireplace or wood heat. 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 it only with current permission, and do not rely on it as a public overnight shelter unless local access is confirmed.
