Refuge de Platé from Flaine
Beschreibung
A small refuge nestling on the edge of the Platé desert, a vast limestone plateau where the rock takes on unusual shapes (lapiaz).
A pretty path winds its way along the foothills of the plateau, offering an exceptional view.
Romain and his team welcome you to a small, friendly refuge that retains the rustic feel and atmosphere typical of the refuges of yesteryear.
Specialities: in the evening, delicious home-cooked dishes that are always different. During the day: pastries and gourmet dishes, all prepared with care and pleasure, using organic and local produce.
There is always a winter shelter when the refuge is not open.
