Refuge Privé de la Maïris

Refuge Privé de la Maïris is a private mountain hut in the Mercantour National Park near Saint-Martin-Vésubie, used for backcountry overnights rather than as a publicly accessible, staffed refuge. It is restricted in access and is generally closed to the general public.

The hut is at about 2,099 m and is reached in the Maïris / Pas des Roubines area. Expect a private, work-oriented operation rather than a traditional guarded refuge, with use governed by the guardian directly during the season. In summer, access is typically treated as restricted and not a walk-up option. For planning your approach and timing around the local route network, common ways to reach the Maïris area involve climbing toward the Pas des Roubines de la Maïris and then continuing on to the hut.
