Refuge des Estaris

Refuge des Estaris is a high alpine hut at about 2,570 m in the Écrins area of the Hautes-Alpes, used as a backcountry bivouac-style stop rather than a staffed, fully catered base. It’s generally handled as an unstaffed/limited-scope shelter, with conditions and availability best checked close to your travel dates using the Écrins National Park shelter guidance.

The hut is commonly associated with the Champsaur/Écrins shelter network: the shelter page on the Écrins park site links out to current, manager-updated practical information for each refuge. For longer trips working around the GR54 or crossing the Champsaur Valley, it can help to contact local tourism offices for up-to-date logistics before committing to an itinerary.
