On the route along the left bank of the Lys glacier, coming from the Mantova or Gnifetti refuges (thus between 700 and 600 m of elevation gain) and leading to the Lys pass. Upon arrival at around 4100 m, a rocky outcrop emerges from the ice on the right (when ascending), topped by a statue about 3 meters high, useful for orientation. The shelter is located in a hollow of the rock a few meters below. No stove, but a gas cooker is usually available. Caution! High mountain equipment is essential, including a sleeping bag suitable for polar temperatures.
Emergency-use structure restored in 1985, equipped with sleeping platforms and an emergency call station (radiotelephone). The availability of a cooker and other equipment should be checked. Recent photos on this website.
