HUT CONVENTIONS

 In the region through which the Tour of the Oisans is trekked, the CAF (Club Alpin Française) – which owns most of the refuges – rules that accommodation must be booked in advance. Telephone numbers are given throughout this guide to enable you to phone ahead.

 On arrival at a refuge remove boots and leave them (with your trekking poles) in the porch or boot room, and select a pair of special hut shoes or clogs usually provided – or wear your own trainers indoors.

 Locate the gardien to announce your arrival, and book whatever meals are required.

 When allocated bedspace go to the dormitory and make your bed, using the sheet sleeping bag carried for the occasion. Have a torch handy, as the room may not be lit when you need to go there after dark.

 Snacks and drinks are normally available during the day, but meals are served at set times. Lunch food to carry with you is often available. Food should not be taken into dormitories.
