A nice refuge in a lovely place in the Champorcher valley. For those who have a car suitable for rough dirt roads, they can approach by car to the Dondena parking lot and reach it with just a 15-minute walk.

The Dondena refuge, a former royal hunting lodge, is located at 2,189 meters above sea level. in a splendid position in the center of the basin of the same name, covered by vast alpine meadows, on the edge of the Mount Avic Park.

Nice and in a beautiful view. Easily reachable by car (via an unpaved road).

Arrival time is 7:30 PM (dinner time).
In the morning, rooms can be vacated at 9:30 AM.
It's located along the mule track leading to Lake Miserin, making it very convenient.
The facility is spacious, with both smaller rooms and mixed dormitories.
They have showers, unlike other refuges in the area, which is a plus.
The food is good and the service is very friendly.
Prices are average for the area: a dorm with half board costs €56 per person, a private room €70 per person.
