The Balme refuge welcomes you in winter and summer, between the Tarentaise and Beaufortain massifs. The managers offer a menu at lunchtime and in the evening to perk you up. Remember to book well in advance to facilitate the organization of the refuge.

Municipal mountain hut in the Tarentaise at 2009 m. Located on the GR 5 and is the starting point for tours in the Pierra Menta area. Easy to reach from the valley on a road.
