Refuge I Ré Magi

The Refuge I RE MAGI is located at an altitude of 1.760 m, in the heart of the hamlet of Granges de la Vallée Étroite, in Briançonnais, Hautes Alpes. The refuge is located on the GR5, GTA, Via Alpina and Tour du Thabor routes.
Taking its name from the link of the Three Kings which dominates the valley, the refuge is immersed in a verdant and very flowery valley, dotted with numerous lakes and climbing sites: the "Croz del Rifugio" and the "Parete dei Militi", wall -internationally renowned rock climbing school. The refuge is located on the GR5, GTA, Via Alpina and Tour du Thabor routes. In winter as in summer, experienced mountaineers, seasoned hikers and families will find a wide choice of circuits for all levels and difficulties.

The I RE MAGI refuge exudes the flavor of Italy: regional cuisine, a friendly, warm setting, and of course, the singing accent of the entire team, who welcomes you to Re Magi for a night, a stay, a meal or a to taste. But you can also come and celebrate a birthday, organize a “cousinage” or a business seminar in season or, out of season, over a weekend. In summer, the refuge is accessible on foot of course but also by car, on horseback or by mountain bike and in winter by skis (cross-country, hiking), snowshoes or on foot.
