The summit of the MONT-BLANC itself is visible from the refuge, a great plus, a privilege!
The refuge is located opposite the Mont-Blanc massif in the commune of Contamines-Montjoie in one of the largest Nature Reserves (5500 hectares) in Haute-Savoie created in 1979. It is one of the most important nature conservation areas in France.
The brand new Refuge des Prés is built at an altitude of 1933m at the foot of the Aiguille de la Cicle (2552m), ideally situated in the immediate vicinity of the international trails of the Tour du Mont-Blanc (GR TMB) and the GR5, the GRP of the Tour du Pays du Mont-Blanc and finally on the GRP of the Tour du Beaufortain
The capacity of this former alpine chalet, totally rebuilt in 2021, is 30 places in 7 small bedrooms/dormitories for 4 people, and one bedroom for 2 people, bunk beds.
The beds are equipped with duvets and pillows; the sanitary facilities are shared with hot showers included in the half-board price.
For hygiene reasons, it is compulsory to bring your own sleeping bags.
On the day of your departure, the rooms must be vacated by 9.00 am at the latest.
Thank you for your understanding.
