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.
