Very cool place to stay overnight, but you have to register beforehand and make a small contribution, which is totally fine.

This refuge is described as the most alpine in the entire Jura chain, which is not an exaggeration given the altitude, the simple and extremely comfortable furnishings and the view of the cliffs. The water comes from a cistern and should be boiled before use.
