The mountain refuge of Nant Borrant

This classic mountain refuge dates back to the 1800s.
In 1842, the municipality of Les Contamines gave permission to build an inn here. It was known as the " Mountain Hotel " until 1976. With the development of the " Mont Blanc Tour " long-distance hiking trail, it became a refuge. However, ever since its creation, it has always been in the hands of the same family!
It is open from June to the end of September.
The Nant Borrant refuge is at the gateway to the nature reserve that begins just beyond the stream...
