It is a superb refuge, located at an altitude of 2,490 meters. The setting is exceptional! It is possible to eat and spend the night there. There is a fountain and toilets with free access. The refuge is kept from mid-June to mid-September. Outside this period, it is possible to access the common room (which includes beds, tables and kitchen bag), but be aware that the water is then turned off to avoid the risk of freezing. For campers, a bivouac area is located next to the refuge.

Very remote and original refuge. Comfortably and quaintly furnished. Also offers cooking facilities for campers. Camping is also possible here - as not at every refuge in the Vanoise National Park.
