The Folly is located on the Criou and between the valleys of the Giffre and the Arve. This hut is open from the end of May to the end of September and you can go there for a drink, air but also for an overnight stay during a hike. The hut has a magnificent view over the mountain ridge of the Tuet and the Dents d'Oddaz. From the parking lot Crêt you can reach the hut within 2 hours. A reasonable climb, but absolutely worth it!

Fantastic view over Samoëns from the terrace, especially with the warm evening sun on your face. Delicious food, provided by friendly and passionate hut warden and his wife.
