Run by the French Alpine Club this refuge has several dormitories sleeping up to 50 people, on a bed only or half-board basis. Pillows and blankets are provided but for hygiene reasons you must provide your own sheet or sleeping bag liner (they can also be rented from the refuge).

At an altitude of 2,374m this can be a gateway to climbing the peak of Mont Pourri, or a stop over for hikers exploring the area as it's ideally located between the resorts of Les Arcs and Tignes.
