Ambin refuge footpath

Like an explorer of unspoiled lands, you make your way tentatively between

Rocher d'Étache and Dents d'Ambin in the wilderness of this little-known

valley. Dotted here and there, random rocks stand as witness to the whims

of raw nature. The torrent is lord and master of the place. Pool after pool,

it honours you with its most beautiful palette of blues: azure, turquoise,

blue-gray... The sun plays hide-and-seek with the passing clouds and, who

knows, it might invent a new colour.

The marmots are clued-up and, when they emerge from their burrows, they

love to lounge around without a care in the world, not even stirring when

herds pass by. The chamois you may catch a glimpse of on the scree slopes

on the left bank also share this exhilarating freedom.

Before you get to your well-deserved snack stop, enjoy heart-stopping view

as you climb to the refuge surrounded by boundless space.
