In 1962 a second floor was added, bringing, thus, the number of guests to 80 people.The refuge runs permanently from early June to October, and following agreement with the managers, it also operates the rest of the year. In winter, the refuge hall remains constantly open as an emergency refuge.On October 2021 one night was €13 per person.

A nice place to stay after climbing Mount Olympus. Tip: Despite the cold, climb out of your sleeping bag early in the morning and experience the sunrise outside. The massif of the main ridge shines wonderfully in the morning light.

Thanks for the staff for the hospitality! It was like an oasis on the cold Olympus at the end of October.
