It lies about thirty minutes below the Col Chécrouit and serves as a stop for those heading down towards Notre-Dame-de-la-Guérison and the Val Veny rather than towards Dolonne. Rooms of 2 to 4 beds and a dormitory, hot showers included, dogs accepted: a more comfortable address, and often less besieged than the refuges at the col.
