Rambouillet Yurt

The Rambouillet Yurt will not be available this winter. The yurt which had been serving as the Rambouillet Yurt has been taken down, refitted with glass windows, a new roof cover and other improvements and is now serving ast the Wilson Yurt. Above the old Rambouillet site a new deck is being built. A new yurt is also being built for that location but those improvements will not be completed until after the winter season.

The Rambouillet (pronounced like Chevrolet) yurt is located just below the Continental Divide in the northwest corner of Rambouillet Park at an elevation of 11,640 feet.

It is 3.5 to 5 miles from the highway 149 with elevation gains of 500 feet to 1700 feet depending on the route chosen. Four routes of varied lengths and skill levels are possible from trailheads on Highway 149. It is 2.25 miles from the Wilson Yurt.

Avalanche conditions are minimal and easily avoided, however minimal danger does not mean no danger. Travelers should always be aware of local avalanche conditions.

The Rambouillet yurt routes have been rated at the beginner to intermediate level, depending on the route chosen. This yurt sleeps up to 8 people. Guide and sherpa services are available.
