We welcome you to our mountain refuge located at an altitude of 1495 m, beneath the Pointe Percée (2750 m), a 1.5-hour walk from the Burzier parking lot (Sallanches).
We are passionate about showcasing our beautiful region, and to achieve this, we collaborate as much as possible with local producers through short supply chains!

We offer a simple, homemade menu, with a daily changing dish.

We have a capacity of 54 places (5 dormitories and 2 private rooms).

It is possible to watch the milking of the cows in the late afternoon, around 4:30-5:00 PM, from late June to mid-September.

We look forward to welcoming you to the refuge.
