The refuge was established in a building in the Walser architectural style, as the inscriptions on the lintel of the entrance testify.
The building has three floors and is particularly warm and welcoming, even though it is situated at over 2000 metres above s.l.. It also provides food, being able to count on our chef famous for his delicious choice dishes (above all zuppa alla valdostana (Valle d'Aosta soup), polenta concia (polenta with cheese), brasato di cervo (braised venison), stinco di maiale al forno (oven cooked shin of pork), farfalle alla valdostana (Pasta bows cooked in the Valle d'Aosta style), pasticcio di polenta (polenta pie), patate e fontina (potatoes and fontina cheese).
