Dent d'Oche Refuge

Description

From its rocky promontory, the refuge overlooks the Chablais region, the entire Franco-Swiss Alps and the Mont Blanc massif as far as the Ecrins. The Jura and Lake Geneva as a gift.
Close to the emblematic summit of the Dent d'Oche, the refuge offers a unique and atypical wide-angle panoramic view.
The magic of the sunset between lake and mountain from the terrace is renewed every day by its colors.

If you're a hiker, a climber, a lover of beautiful scenery or good food, if you'd like to see ibexes, enjoy your first refuge experience, spend a convivial evening, or simply contemplate the horizons that await you from up there.
The Dent d'Oche refuge is for you!

Please note: In the last 100m below the refuge, the path straightens out and becomes a chimney equipped with cables.
Good alpine cheeses halfway up.

Approved refuge: family refuges. Minimum recommended age 8 years (depending on experience).

Refuge on the route of the GR5 (variant) Balcon du léman.
Summits: Pointe de Pelluaz - Château d'Oche
Day hikes: Tour du vallon d'Oche

Ideas for a circuit with nearby refuges: on the GR5 route, refuge de Bise, 5h walk, passage to Switzerland via Lac de Tanay, 7h walk.
