The peaceful setting of the Portette Lake area is certainly appealing for lovers of camping, bivouacking, and picnicking. Even the rugged, stony ground surrounding the “Emilio Questa” Hut offers plenty of safe and tranquil spots to settle in.
We kindly ask anyone planning to pitch a tent near the hut to inform the manager or the staff in advance — we’re always happy to offer guidance.
⚠️ Please note the following rules:
Tents must not be set up too close to the hut or to the wooden cabins reserved for our guests.
According to the regulations of the Maritime Alps Natural Park, bivouacs are permitted for a maximum of 48 hours in areas without designated campsites.
Picnicking or eating your own food is not allowed near the hut or in its communal areas during meal service (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
Open flames, including portable stoves, are strictly prohibited both inside and in the immediate vicinity of the hut.
🙏 These simple rules help us protect the mountain environment, respect our work, and ensure everyone’s safety.
Thank you for your cooperation!
