Cabane de Pied Frais (ou de la Fessie)

The place

the stove has been replaced! This refuge is marked on some maps, the name of the refuge is uncertain. Wooden chalet. A wooden bench where 2 people can lie down and a mezzanine that looks new where 5-6 people can sleep. Reached by a ladder. There's a table with built-in benches, and a plastic chair No insulation, a lot of draughts, no mattresses. A stream not too far to the east, about 700 m away. The refuge is certainly occupied on weekends during hunting season. Inventory: missing a saw, a proper broom and a pen for the guestbook.... At the end of the small forest road from Pied Fraid above the village of la Rivière, in the north-west of the Vercors. 5 minutes' walk is enough to find it after the car park. WARNING: this area sees constant forestry work; you may find yourself face to face with a lorry loaded with logs during working periods, and passing on this small, narrow road is not easy... ONF
