Cabin des Bas Pasqueires

Cabane des Bas Pasqueires sits at 2,039m in the Alpes-Maritimes, in the southern French Alps near the Mercantour massif. Approach from the Vallée de la Vésubie, starting from Saint-Martin-Vésubie. The hut lies above the Lac de Prals, roughly 4–5 hours' walk from the trailhead depending on route and snow cover. This is a mountain cabin in genuine alpine terrain, not a staffed refuge.
The cabin is tiny: 4 beds maximum, split between two small rooms. There is no guardian, no meals, and no facilities beyond basic shelter. You'll find a wood stove for heating and a roof that keeps out rain. Water is available from nearby sources in summer. Winter access becomes uncertain; many parties avoid this hut November through April. The cabin works best as a wild-camp alternative for climbers heading to Mont Bégo (2,872m) or skiers doing backcountry traverses in the Parc National du Mercantour.
The cabin is unmanaged and free to use, but you must be self-sufficient: bring all food, fuel, water containers, and a stove. Check locally with FFCAM Saint-Martin-Vésubie or the Mercantour park office before traveling; snow, avalanche risk, and trail conditions change fast. This is not a hut for inexperienced parties or those expecting staffed accommodation.
