About

Cabane du Clos de la Sagne sits at 2,092m in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, in the southern reaches of Parc National des Écrins. Access is from the Vallée du Drac; the main approach takes 4–5 hours from the village of Chorges or trailheads near Ancelle. The hut serves as a base for traverses across the high plateaus and ascents of peaks like Mont-Pelat (3,051m) and Pic de Morgon (2,889m). The terrain is alpine grassland and rocky ridges with few trees; weather changes fast at this elevation.
The cabin is small and rustic, typical of remote FFCAM mountain shelters. It offers basic dormitory sleeping for around 20 people, self-catering facilities (water available on-site), and a simple stove for heating. There is no guardian on permanent duty. The hut is open year-round but heavily snow-bound November to April; most use is June through September. Winter access requires mountaineering experience and avalanche awareness.
Contact the Ecrins office of the FFCAM or local hiking clubs in the Hautes-Alpes for current conditions and access details. The cabin has no phone or formal booking system; arrive early in peak season or check conditions before departure. This is a shelter for experienced alpine hikers comfortable with self-sufficiency and isolation.
