This old alpine farm, restored by the Charon family and transformed into a refuge, is perfectly well thought out. Located on an open plateau, in the middle of cows and marmots, the refuge is the starting point for many marked hikes, of all levels, which can be advised by the keepers.
The whole team welcomes you and offers you the traditional "diots-polenta" every day.
The refuge has 7 dormitories ranging from 2 to 10 beds.
