The refuge is in the border of the forest and has an amazing view over the alps. Around April white anemones are covering the woods. If nobody is renting it, you can use the tables outside. Information for renting on https://www.dizy.ch/informations-pratiques-fr25.html

A cover with tables in the closed side or in the open side. Fireplace in front of it for a perfect bbq in the forest. There are no road on the map to access. In reality there's one from the main road or from the small road on the river side... I'll try to add it on OSM.
