The Letey-Champillon Refuge is located in a very panoramic point over the Ollomont valley and the Bassa Valpelline. It is dedicated to Adolphe Letey, mayor of Doues, who strongly believed in tourism and in the potential of this area.

The Letey-Champillon refuge enjoys a panoramic position over the Ollomont valley and the lower Valpelline. This refuge is dedicated to Adolphe Letey, mayor of Doues, who strongly believed in tourism and the potential of this area. Most of the people who pass through here come from or are going towards the Col de Champillon. The terrain is not technical, but is quite steep in some sections. The climb to the top of Mount Chenaille is not far from the refuge, but it is very technical and demanding, so it is not suitable for running.
