Forest refuge on the heights of Mont Pelloux, on the municipal border. The fire pit and table are arranged in terrace style. A branch cabin was built right next to it when I passed by.

The Echandens refuge is located in the Côte woods to the east of the Echandens village. With a capacity of 80 places, it has a stove, two small fridges and a fireplace. No crockery is provided. The exterior area of the refuge is privatized if rented. It is available to the public when the refuge is not rented. It consists of several fixed tables, a covered grill and a fire area with a cauldron tripod. https://echandens.ch/refuge/

The place is large and cosy. I pass often there and most of the time there's nobody so you can give it a try if you want to use the tables or cover.
