It is located in the basin between Mont Fallère, from where this mountain refuge gets its name, and Monte Rosso di Vertosan, in Loc. Les Crottes at 2385 m in altitude, in the town of Saint-Pierre.
A mountain refuge in the medium-high mountains, it is the perfect place for some trekking or a high-altitude excursion, for crossing from one refuge to another or from one valley to another. The refuge can also be reached by mountain bike (a journey of about 6 km along the farm road). In winter, it is a highly valued location for ski mountaineering or for a climb on snowshoes.
The refuge is a new structure with the appearance of a typical alpine chalet. Old disused wood was used for both its internal and external construction. The care taken over its particular features and works of art by Siro Viérin makes it entirely unique.
The refuge was built according to energy-saving criteria and is equipped with solar panels in order to ensure the ecological production of hot water, as well the integration of a heating system in colder periods. There are glacial streams and lakes close by and the relative abundance of water supplies the power unit that produces electrical energy. The refuge offers free Wi-Fi access to all the guests and pets are welcome.
