    Tips

    The road to the refuge is a mule track accessible to anyone (even to mothers with prams for children), the walk with mountain bikes is also very beautiful.
    The difference in height between the square where you leave the car (about 1980 m.a.s.l.) is very modest (the refuge is located at 2005 m.a.s.l.).
    The road follows the long lake for about 6 km (45 minutes - 1 hour by road), following an itinerary full of streams and small waterfalls, to arrive at the refuge.

      Very simple path with a view of the lake and glaciers of the upper valley below the Dent d'Herens, arriving at the Prarayer refuge.

        At the hut, you can enjoy good, traditional dishes at really fair prices. In good weather, you can enjoy the view of the lake from the terrace. If the weather is bad, there's plenty of space inside, too.
