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.

Located on the route of the GR 5, the Vallonbrun refuge is a choice stopover for exploring the Vanoise National Park. Its traditional dry stone architecture gives it a certain charm. It dominates the valley of Haute-Maurienne and offers a beautiful panorama of the Albaron, the Dent Parrachée, the Meije, or the Aiguilles d'Arves. This refuge is managed in a sustainable way: rainwater harvesting, solar energy, waste sorting, dry toilet. It thus participates in raising public awareness on the subjects of sustainable development and the protection of nature. The refuge is open from mid-June to mid-September. The dormitory has 27 beds and blankets are provided. The bivouac near the refuge is authorized, with a capacity of sixteen people or eight tents. You will then be asked for a fee of five euros per person.

Note that bivouacking, as in the entire Vanoise park, is prohibited near the cabin.
