Dent Parrachée

Dent Parrachee, another mountain of the Vanoise range, is 3,697 meters of pyramidal ice and rock that towers above the Aussois settlement and overlooks the Plan d'Aval and Plan d'Amont dams. It has a diverse range of mountaineering sports, including alpine climbing, nordic skiing, and hiking. It is served by a year-round 30-bed shelter that serves as a base for mountaineers, skiers, and hikers exploring the mountain.

Visitors can do everything from a tour of the Vanoise Glaciers to summiting the peak itself from the chalet. You can also start your ascent from Aussois and attempt to climb and descend in a single day if you want a tougher challenge.

During the months of March and April, as well as June and September, the cabin is frequently guarded. When guarded, the capacity is 42 people, and during the summer and winter, it is 24. New thermal and photovoltaic solar panels, as well as a pico hydropower power station, have just been installed in the hut.
