About
Cabane de Mille sits at 2,473m in the Écrins massif, accessible via the Vallée de la Romanche. The approach takes 3 to 4 hours from Bourg-d'Oisans, climbing steeply through forest before opening onto high pasture. This is a serious walker's hut, not a stroll.
The cabin holds 40 beds in shared dormitories. The guardian serves dinner and breakfast during the season—bring your own lunch or eat light. Water comes from a mountain spring. There's no kitchen, so come ready to eat what's provided or bring high-calorie snacks. The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk; contact ahead before December or after March.
Book by phone in advance, especially for July and August when the hut fills quickly. Contact the guardian directly to confirm your dates and any dietary needs. The hut is run by FFCAM (Fédération Française des Clubs Alpins et de Montagne), which manages most Alpine refuges in this region.
