High mountain site on the edge of the Clot de l'Homme ravine, under the rochers rouges (red rocks) and the south face of the Pelvoux, with a view of Celse Nièvre and the Selé glacier basin.
When the summer period ends and there is no longer a warden, it is still possible to access the picnic room and a 10-place dormitory (there are blankets and pillows). On the other hand, at the beginning of autumn, there is no water close to the refuge, so you will need to bring some from the Puiseux spring, approximately 700 m below the refuge, just before the fork between the Sélé and Pelvoux footpaths.
