    Hiking

    Small open shelter that offers protection during thunderstorms, but is not ideal for bivouacking in heavy rain. However, when the weather is nice there are good flat spots for a tent.
    The closest spring is the Source de la Thur, about 700m away.

    Hiking

    The shelter is located on the border of the Vosges and Haut-Rhin departments.

    It is also at this spot that the ridge line splits in two. The better-known one continues its route towards the Grand Ballon, while the second one pursues its path towards the Thanner Hubel.

    It was the Thur glacier that shaped this landscape 20,000 years ago.
