    Das Refuge Furfande ist eine sehr gut geführte Hütte, sehr freundliche Leute und sehr gutes Essen. Auch die Lage ist wunderbar, bei schönem Wetter kann man herrlich vor der Hütte sitzen und das unglaubliche Panorama genießen. Besser reservieren +33 616562379. Lager mit Halbpension f 50 € pro Person

    4h20 est un temps nettement sous-estimé. comptez 1 heure de plus minimum

    Plus de passerelle sur le torrent de La Valette (entre Gros et les Girards)

    More footbridge over the brook Valletta (between Gros and Girards)
  • Elisabeth - 2015-10-14
    La description passe rapidement sur la montée à Gros. C'est quand même 1h45 de montée sur une petite route étroite le long d'une paroi rocheuse plein sud : éviter de la faire en plein cagnard !
    On ne passe pas au col de Furfande, contrairement à ce que laisse supposer le descriptif.
    Automatic translation [Google]
    The description goes on quickly rising in Gros. It's still 1:45 mounted on a narrow road along a southern rock face: to avoid the full dodger! You can not pass the neck of Furfande, contrary to what the description suggests.

    Trieste-Monaco le 5/10/2014

    Furfande est fermé en cette période. Variante pour rejoindre directement Ceillac. Par la piste forestière de la forêt de la Réortie. Si motivé remonter pour raccrocher le chemin qui suit le Cristillan en rive gauche. Sinon descendre sur "l'Ubac d'aval" puis un peu de route avant de trouver un sentier qui amène à Ceillac.

    Etape à Ceillac, au gîte "le matefaim". Appeler bien à l'avance car fermé en cette période. Chambre avec plaque électrique. Petit-déjeuner servi par le gîte. Bon accueil et présent en cas de besoin.

    /!\ Attention, en cette période plus de ravitaillement ni hébergement possibles après Guillestre jusqu'à l'Italie (Campo base). La désertification des services est bien ancrée...

    Trieste-Monaco on 05/10/2014 Furfande is closed during this period. Variant for direct access Ceillac. For the forest track forest of Réortie. If motivated to hang up the road that follows the left bank Cristillan. Otherwise get off on "downstream Ubac" then a little road before finding a path that leads to Ceillac. Step Ceillac, the lodging "the Matefaim". Call well in advance as closed in this period. Room with electric hob. Breakfast served by the cottage. Welcome and present when needed. /! \ Attention in this period more than refueling or possible accommodation after Guillestre to Italy (Campo base). Desertification services is well established ...

    Monaco - Trieste

    2h to reach Col Garnier from refuge de Furfande, then 4h going a lot down to reached Mont Dauphin
    it is possible and i think better to catch up the GR5 in the Queyras regional park radther than taking the option I did following the Via Alpina

    Mont Dauphin has a gite le glacier Bleu, very friendly hosts (Laure and Olivier), paid 16,5euros for private 2 beds room, very clean room
    Did not ate dinner but think it really worth eating @ le glacier bleu. Highly recommanded to stay there. Another concept
    of hosting here. Own by friendly persons. Been given a fresh baguette on my departure from le Glacier bleu...

    Ceillac – Mont Dauphin : 8h30 walking, 2h30 resting, 36,9km
