As if through a tunnel of bushes, you reach the plateau on which there is an old hut (not managed) that is being renovated. We also met cows there, but they looked quite bored.

The building used to be an ice hut ("glacière", "nivere"): snow was compacted into ice in two deep shafts in order to use it as a coolant in summer. In the summer of 2022 there is a construction site in the house, apparently a staircase is being built into a shaft.

Hello, the cooler has been renovated, however during our visit in 2024 we discover that it is closed, but that it is possible to visit it by collecting the key at the town hall.
