The refuge is really nice, and the small terrace overlooks a "mini lake" that has more or less water depending on the weather. Tip: The restaurant also serves all kinds of Belgian food - from Belgian beers to waffles, the Gaufrettes. It's really worth it. The visit can also be perfectly combined with a simple hike. https://www.teddy-b.ch/wanderungen/leysin-vd-chapeau/
