Very well-equipped high-altitude refuge, offering in particular a water point and outdoor sleeping areas which are great in summer for admiring the starry sky.

A classic climb for the col baggers, but it's not just one for the roadies as it's accessible via off-road routes too. Although off-road access from the north is more mountain bike orientated. Don't miss a photo opportunity against the col monument!
