    Hiking

    This pretty refuge is located at an altitude of 2,417 metres, in the heart of the Vanoise park. It is easily accessible from the Col de la Platta car park.
    The refuge has a single large room, so the 14-bed dormitory is in the same place as the dining room. An intimate atmosphere awaits you! It is also possible to pitch a tent around it, but only by reservation.

    Mountain biking

    Refuge on the shores of the Merlet lakes, in the Vanoise National Park, surrounded by an exceptional panorama, typically mountain and very welcoming. Quiet haven with little capacity. Guarded in summer and free in winter (wood and gas available).
