Baraque de la Jasse
4.4About
Baraque de la Jasse sits at 1,570m on the northern edge of Parc National des Écrins in Isère. The hut serves as a base for routes into the park and sits on established hiking trails crossing the region. Access is from the Champoléon valley; the approach takes roughly 2–3 hours on foot depending on your starting point. The location works well for day walks across alpine pasture or as a staging point for longer mountain routes.
The baraque is a simple refuge with 11 beds across basic dormitory accommodation. Drinking water is available on-site. The hut is not staffed and does not provide meals, so bring all food and cooking fuel you need. There is a small wood stove for warmth. Expect basic conditions—this is mountain shelter, not a staffed auberge. The hut typically opens June through September, though weather at this elevation can shift rapidly in shoulder months.
Contact the Parc National des Écrins or local hiking associations in Champoléon for current access conditions and management details. Book directly if contact information is listed locally; space is limited and popular weekends fill quickly. Carry a map and compass or GPS—route-finding to the hut in poor visibility is feasible but requires navigation skill. Cell signal is unreliable at this elevation.
