Tré-la-Tête refuge (1970m), Massif du Mont-Blanc

Friendly atmosphere and home cooked traditional Savoyard style food

Location Chamonix Featured in Mountain Huts Updated

Open and guarded from the late March until the end of September, this is a very popular refuge for spring ski tourers and summer hikers.

Located to the south of Mont Blanc and close to the Tré-la-Tête glacier, this refuge sits in the heart of the nature reserve of Les Contamines. It's a great starting point for many hiking trails as well as a base for some well known ski tours in the Mont Blanc and Contamines-Montjoie area.

Accommodation is available on a half-board basis only, either in a large dormitory for up to 30 people or in a smaller 2-5 bed private room. All guests have access to indoor toilets and hot water.

The food is traditional Savoyard cuisine, made from fresh local ingredients where possible. A lunch menu is available to guests and passing hikers.

Please contact the refuge directly for this season's prices and opening and closing dates.
