Does anyone know when the refuges open this year. If I walk in mid-may will I find them still closed?

Thanks.

As with Bruce I'm interested to know when the refuges will be open this year and the chances of snow of the high peaks. Also, even if the refuges are not officially open yet, would there be still facilities available to boil water? I was planning on doing the north route, Calenzana to Vizzavona commencing about the 24th May. I have been to Corsica previously to do some hiking at the beginning of June and found that it was already very hot and the refuges crowded so I would like to avoid these possibilities as much as possible.

Thank you.

Bruce and Lisa, please read my recent blog posts GR 20 in April, May and November and Snow in Corsica. They should answer your questions.
