La Girouette

The place

Built in 1963. Table, benches, stove, and in case of necessity, sleeping space on the bare ground for 2 people. If the forestry staff don't need it, the municipality is very happy to make it available to walkers, provided they respect the following conditions: - occupation is limited to one day - except in cases of distress, it is forbidden to spend the night - if necessary, use must be shared with other people - reservations are excluded entirely - fire may only be lit in the stove, taking every usual precaution; the wood used must be supplemented with fallen wood found in the surrounding forest - when you leave this shelter, leave it clean and take your rubbish and empty bottles with you. The Municipality or the State foresters reserve the right to enforce these rules and take appropriate measures if needed, to prevent any misuse. From Le Solliat, take the path to Chez la Tante then the path to Bas du Risoud. Swiss coordinates: 507085 / 166425. Commune of Le Chenit / Right on a carriage-accessible track, so very easy to reach.
