Open in both summer and in winter this mountain restaurant and refuge is in the perfect spot right in the heart of the Portes du Soleil area.

A great place to enjoy the mountain, traditional Savoyard food and spend a night under the stars in this traditional style refuge. With two dormitories sleeping 7 and 18 people, plus a relaxation room and restaurant, you will have everything you need!

Open between mid-December and the end of April and again in June until the end of August, but group bookings may be possible (minimum of 10 people) outside of the normal opening times so it is worth calling them to enquire.

Accommodation is on a half-board, bed and breakfast or bed-only basis; showers are included in the price but bedding is charged at a few euros extra so you may wish to bring a sleeping bag. The restaurant is also open for lunch and snacks during the day.

In summer you can walk to the refuge in about 20 minutes from the Lécherette car park, by following the Chemin des Pecheurs alongside the river. If you're coming from Switzerland, the two Mossettes chairlifts will take you to within easy walking distance.

In winter you can take the Ardent cable car from Montriond followed by the Léchère chairlift, or from Switzerland you can access it from Les Crosets via the Mossettes chairlift.
