Romain and his team welcome you to a small, friendly refuge that retains the rustic feel and atmosphere typical of the refuges of yesteryear.
Specialities: in the evening, delicious home-cooked dishes that are always different. During the day: pastries and gourmet dishes, all prepared with care and pleasure, using organic and local produce.
There is always a winter shelter when the refuge is not open.
Sustainable tourism
As much as possible, we try to reduce our waste and save natural resources.
