The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
High-altitude parking (2000m+) adjacent to Petit Mont-Cenis refuge. Ideal starting point for diverse hikes with frequent wildlife encounters (marmots). Peaceful, flat spaces with stunning mountain views and excellent stargazing. Narrow access road unsuitable for large motorhomes. No on-site services, but nearby refuge offers meals and hiking advice. Municipal bylaw restricts parking 22:00-08:00 from June 1 to September 30.
