Access

Path ascending from the Narderan refuge: 25 minutes. Easily accessible from the valley: 45 minutes. Or descending from the Reculet via the ridges and the Marie du Jura cave: 45 minutes. In winter: the first slope ascending from Narderan must be approached with caution. It features an exposed traverse.

Good to know

The part open to all is a room with a stove (which heats well but with little wood), a large table and a bench that can accommodate 2/3 people. The living area (table, large bed, large stove) is well insulated. The dormitory is upstairs (there are 2 sleeping places downstairs however). There is reportedly a spring about a hundred meters further north. Wood must be collected at the edge of the forest below, to the southeast: 10 minutes. No cutting tools available.
