Season
Early March to early May

The Refuge d'Argentière stands on a rock ridge above the Glacier d'Argentière, surrounded by the impressive north faces of the Mont Blanc massif. Opposite rise the Aiguille Verte, Les Droites and Les Courtes. The hut is a base for demanding mountaineering and ski tours, for example to the Aiguille d'Argentière and Mont Dolent, and is therefore often busy. On the Haute Route it is often considered as the first base in the western section.
