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 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.

Nice little refuge with table and place for the fire. It seems that it belongs to the commune of Grancy.
