Buvette des Gaillands

Snack bar by the climbing walll and lake with outside terrace for customers

Location
Chamonix

A pretty little snack shack serving hot and cold drinks, filled baguettes, wraps, salads and ice creams.

The colourful terrace has parasols, flowers and picnic tables - sometimes even a bit of live music! It is WiFi enabled, so you can catch up on your emails in beautiful peaceful surroundings.

The buvette is a handy option if you are hiking in the woods, climbing on the rock or sunbathing by the lake. You can eat on the terrace or get your food to takeaway.

The owners are friendly and welcoming, often hosting events such as attic sales or mini music festivals throughout the summer - call in and check it out!

Open every day 10:00 until 19:00.
