The hut was completely renovated in 1988 and has maintained the ancient characteristics of an alpine farmhouse that fits very well into the mountain environment. Inside there is a spacious studio with a wood and gas kitchen, a refectory with a wood stove that ensures heat in any weather, a large and particularly sturdy table. In the back we find the dormitory with about twenty beds, complete with mattress, pillows, covers and military blankets. The lighting is powered by a solar panel system. The toilets are located inside, you can have running water all year round, in the winter only in the fountain located outside (barring unforeseen events).
