    The Balme refuge is located halfway between Les Contamines and the Col du Bonhomme at 2,009 meters above sea level. Located between the Tarentaise and Beaufortain massifs, it offers superb views of the valley you are crossing.

    Hiking

    The La Balme refuge is a superb gite located at the foot of the Aiguille de la Pennaz. You have the option of staying half-board (night + evening meal + breakfast + shower + optional picnic) but also to eat and drink the rest of the day. The setting is simply beautiful!
