Tips

Savoie VTT 73-74

September 13, 2021

Located at an altitude of 2000 m, facing Mont-Blanc in the heart of the Fiz massif, it is in a setting of mountain pastures and high mountains that we discover the Moëde-Anterne refuge located in Passy, at next to Chamonix Mont Blanc, in Haute-Savoie.

The old chalet, built in 1898, was only a meeting place for chamois hunting and hiking to the surrounding peaks.

The first owners were alpine consorts, all hunters.

A canteen was installed there in 1924. In 1946, it became the property of Marcel BORGEAT and, later, of his family. It welcomes walkers, mountaineers, hunters and fishermen (the Pormenaz and Anterne lakes are nearby), but also scientists who come to study the geological characteristics of the Fiz range and/or the Pormenaz massif, renowned for its mineral wealth.

During the last war, the Moëde canteen (as it was then called) served as a hiding place for resistance fighters supplied from Passy, Servoz, or even Chamonix. Marcel BORGEAT, a great resistance fighter, a knowledgeable mountaineer and a skilled hunter, will build a real hydroelectric power station up there, at a time when electricity did not yet reach all the mountain villages.

His daughter Arlette succeeded him, helped by her husband Robert DIDIER, high mountain guide and their children, notably their son Lionel.

In 1994, they opened a new, spacious and welcoming 81-place refuge facing the Mont Blanc range.

Today, the grandfather's initial concept has evolved a lot, notably thanks to new technologies (modern pico plant, solar and new generation emergency generator), use of maintenance products compliant with environmental protection. , use of low-consumption household appliances. It allows you to benefit from all the amenities of a hotel in the valley, at an altitude of 2000 m. A true Garden of Eden.
