Located at an altitude of 1 446m in the Haute Chaîne du Jura National Nature Reserve, this picturesque refuge welcomes you in an authentic, rustic setting, ideal for mountain hikers. The refuge comprises 2 distinct sections : a refuge and a gîte.
The refuge part offers comfortable and simple living conditions, with welcoming bedrooms, a cosy common room and a fully-equipped kitchen for preparing meals. Open all year round, it can accommodate up to 8 people, with 6 mattresses available for hikers. Equipped with a wood -burning stove for warming up in winter, a table for eating and a shelter in case of bad weather, the refuge allows visitors to rest and spend the night in peace. Renovated in 2022, with walls and roof insulated with burnt wood planks, it also features solar panels for room lighting and USB sockets for visitors' convenience. Wood is supplied by the association to fuel the stove.
The gîte section is reserved exclusively for residents of the commune of Péron. To obtain the key, you need to reserve via the Mairie de Péron website and go to the Mairie to collect it, accessible via the “Availability and reservations” tab.
Upstairs, under the roof, the gîte offers 14 beds, where you can be awakened by the gentle rays of sunshine filtering through the velux windows. On the first floor, a wood -burning stove warms the space and allows you to prepare your meals, accompanied by a gas stove and a complete assortment of utensils and pots and pans.
Outside, a source of non-potable water allows you to recharge at the source. This will enable you to clean your cooking utensils. It's important to remember to bring drinking water with you. The fire pit is the perfect place to enjoy wood-fired dishes and keep warm on those balmy nights at the top of the Jura mountains.
