Its terrace offers one of the most famous panoramas of the TMB over the Italian face of Mont Blanc and the Grandes Jorasses. The dormitories are split between the old building (reception, restaurant) and a more recent building; it is also the starting point of the variant via the Col Sapin and the Pas Entre-deux-Sauts.
