Hiking

The Bostan refuge, located at an altitude of 1,763 meters, welcomes all hikers. Since its construction in the 80s, it has continued to evolve to become the large, warm, comfortable and friendly chalet that it is now. It has 72 beds and its panoramic terrace welcomes all hikers for a sunny break, a drink and even a good meal.

A beautiful mountain hut at an altitude of 1763 meters, where it is worth spending the night and tasting the organic products of the region! The rock face of the Dents Blanches is close enough to touch.
