    Dortoir at Vorsiez, yes, but a little bit on the expensive side, plus they receive a lot of tourists groups. One of these big groups was using the dortoir first floor as a disco until midnight on the Saturday the 27th of August 2011 I slept there. Add to that that they want you to PAY for drinking water!.

    Pris sous une violente averse, nous avons trouvé un bon réconfort (café ét Schnaps) dans une cabane de chasseurs à Raminer Matt. Un grand merci à eux!

    Possibilité d'hébergement bien agréable à Vorsiez pour ceux pour qui l'étape serait trop longue
