The Cuchet refuge is a former guarded refuge, now open to the public as an unguarded refuge. It contains 24 places in dormitories, blankets and mattresses as well as a wood stove. In summer, a fountain near the cabin allows you to collect water.
No participation is obligatory but the coin that you will leave in the box provided will allow the proper maintenance of the refuge. Note that bivouacking, as in the entire Vanoise park, is prohibited near the cabin.

Very nicely located self-catering hut with cooking facilities and oven. Easy to visit in 2016. A lot has changed about the Corona period. It is difficult to say what the current opening will look like. When it is open it is definitely worth a visit.

This is a refuge without a manager. There's an app to register. A fee of €12 per adult is expected in 2025. There's a fountain outside, gas, and minimal electricity. Inside, there are 24 beds, providing basic comforts, but it's still important to be self-sufficient.
