A great stop off on a long hike or a beautiful refuge if you are looking to get away from the crowds for a while. there are plenty of hiking trails in the area and lots of wildlife to enjoy.
The refuge consists of three adjoining chalets:
refectory chalet - kitchen, bathrooms (two free unlimited water cold showers, two toilets, two sinks)
dormitory chalet - two dorm rooms that sleep 18 and 20
guardian's chalet - reserved for wardens, park rangers and mountain professionals
The refuge serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks - all home cooked using fresh local ingredients. Picnic lunches can be provided on request.
Bivouacking is allowed after 19:00 and the tent must be taken down before 08:00 (in July and August only). Places are limited and you'll need to book.
In winter the refuge is open but unstaffed and there is no running water.
