sadly I couldn't do the entire Sommêtres's because of the fear of the people with me. Anyway, you can still enjoy the view and the place. Alway respect the space and grab your litter, there's people there if you don't know something and of course, explanations sheet are everywhere for you to understand in different languages.

This refuge is described as the most alpine in the entire Jura chain, which is not an exaggeration given the altitude, the simple and extremely comfortable furnishings and the view of the cliffs. The water comes from a cistern and should be boiled before use.

A few minutes downstream from Goumois you will find this refuge and various barbecue areas. We used it as a bivouac site for one night. The road up to this point is asphalted, so the site is busy during the day. The gravel road to Moulin Jeannottat begins directly after the hut, where cars are prohibited.

Very cool place to stay overnight, but you have to register beforehand and make a small contribution, which is totally fine.
