Désert de Platé

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Platé desert is one of the largest lapiaz in Europe. This 1,980 hectare plateau is exclusively accessible to hikers. This desert was carved out by meltwater and glaciers. A real geological treasure!

Platé Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This superb refuge is open all year round, although in winter it is not guarded. It is therefore not possible to book, except in the summer period. The welcome is warm and the food is delicious!
