Bellachat Refuge

Highlight • Pub

It is a beautiful wooden refuge, at 2,152 meters above sea level. There is the possibility to eat and have a drink with a superb view of Mont-Blanc and its chain of peaks.

Due to repeated droughts, access to water has become difficult at the refuge. Before going up there, do not forget to fill your water bottles in the valley.

Merlet Park

Highlight • Natural

Nice Park with usually wild living animals in this region (except the alpacas). Best place to watch them and the epic view of the Mont Blanc mountains. Specially for children. Don’t forget to make a reservation for your entry during summer season. If you hike there, you can find a discount code. There is no free water, bring enough.
