The area lends itself perfectly to hiking, climbing, mountain biking.
Outside the guarded periods in summer, the refuge is completely closed. Nearby, the Lacs Merlets refuge offers a winter refuge area.

Refuge des lacs Merlet
Highlight • Mountain Hut
The refuge has a single large room, so the 14-bed dormitory is in the same place as the dining room. An intimate atmosphere awaits you! It is also possible to pitch a tent around it, but only by reservation.
