Refuge de la Cayolle

Refuge de la Cayolle is a backcountry mountain hut operated in the Parc National du Mercantour area. It sleeps 32 people and is run as a structured multi-room facility (2 floors with 2 rooms per floor, each room with 8 bunk places). The hut is set at about 2262 m elevation and runs on summer dates from 15 June to 15 September.

For sleeping, you’ll need your own duvet or sheets; blankets/coverings are provided. Contact is handled through refuge mobile/phone details listed for the hut, and the hut’s summer use window suggests planning your access around that period rather than relying on year-round shelter.
