1The Refuge du Goûter (France)
High up in the French Alps, on the Mont Blanc massif, sits the Refuge du Goûter—a mountain shelter that provides a brief respite for climbers making their way to the summit. Accessible only by a strenuous trek, the refuge is as remote as it gets, surrounded by glaciers and towering peaks.
Why it’s special: The combination of harsh weather, high altitude, and remote location makes it a truly isolated retreat.
