Roya,1499<\/h4>\n\n

I have a coffee with the shelter’s cat, who really likes the bivouac area.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

I set off around 7.45am with Gilles, heading for the Col de la Crousette. First you go up along the river in the forest, then you turn left to arrive on a magnificent plateau with hundreds of sheep, a few goats and some beautiful patous. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The shepherds are there, in the middle of the plateau, in a white tent. The climb continues on a rockier path to the pass. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Col de la Crousette, 2499m<\/h4>\n\n

Once at the Col, turn left to reach the foot of Mont Mounier at 2,583m.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Back down to the Col des Moulines. <\/p>\n\n

Col des Moulines, 1.981m<\/h4>\n\n

It’s hot and dry, but fortunately we come across a river a little further down the road where we can stock up on water. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

We then climb 200 metres back up to the gates of Longon. We then walk for about 30 minutes to reach the refuge.<\/p>\n\n

Refuge de Longon, 1.870m<\/h4>\n\n

(NO bivouac possible – presence of animals and Mercantour Park regulations – you have to walk an extra 50 minutes to reach Rougios, where bivouacs are authorized and there are flat areas).<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Half-board at the refuge 68<\/em><\/p>\n\n

I decide to spend the night on half-board at the refuge, which I’ve heard so much about, and enjoy a real bed and a good dinner. A great atmosphere in this isolated refuge, they also make very good cheeses and homemade yoghurts. Delicious dinner and breakfast with local and homemade products, I really recommend the experience.<\/p>\n\n
