Mountain Refuge Hut: La Balme

Mountain Refuge Hut: La Balme

Description

The refuge is located in the heart of nature, within the Contamines Montjoie nature reserve, ideally located above the forest to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscapes.
The establishment is rustic, which gives it all its charm.
At lunchtime, we offer traditional à la carte mountain dishes, platters of charcuterie and local cheeses as well as homemade pastries, on the terrace facing the Aiguilles de la Pennaz.
To quench your thirst, you will also find a choice of cold and hot drinks but above all a choice of local beers which maintain the reputation of Mont Blanc.
In the evening, we offer half board for hikers, sports enthusiasts, and families wishing to spend an unusual night in a refuge (rooms recommended).
We have hot showers, and take advantage of an unobstructed view over the forest to spend pleasant moments among nature enthusiasts.
