Summer 2020 :

See you soon on the Tour du Mont-Blanc !

Information on Coronavirus (COVID-19) 

Information as at 30 May 2020

Dear hikers, 

We are currently in an exceptional situation,  but things are becoming clearer by the day. 

As far as possible, we ask you to be patient and not to cancel your visit immediately. The various government directives are changing very quickly.

At this time,

in Valais / Switzerland the refuges and restaurants opened on May 11th (with special sanitary conditions)
in Valle d'Aosta / Italy the restaurants opened on 18th May
In France, the openings are possible on 02 June 2020 according to the directives which are national, but adapted to the prefectural and communal level.

Meals and drinks on "take away sales" are possible as of today.
The sanitary conditions that will be set up by the accommodation providers will be complete and the respect of these conditions is already requested.

Each refuge or gîte being unique in its configuration, an exact sanitary protocol will be set up for each accommodation.

A "Hiker's Charter" must be validated and signed when making a reservation. It will be available on the website from June 2nd, 2020.

Hikers will have to bring their own sleeping bag, pillowcase, complete toiletries and disinfectant.
The capacity of the refuges will be reduced.
Regular disinfection, all barrier gestures, all measures to guarantee the safety of guests and employees will be applied. 
The available information indicates an opening of the borders

by 15 June 2020 between Switzerland and Italy and vice versa

by 15 June 2020 between Switzerland and France and vice versa

probably by 15 June 2020 between Italy and France and vice versa.

If you think you will have to cancel your trip, we offer you a credit note corresponding to the amount of the deposit paid and usable until the end of the year 2021.

However, if you wish to have your deposit refunded, please contact each of the different establishments concerned individually, but take into account that the tourism industry, and especially the accommodation industry, is in a very difficult economic situation! 

We will keep you regularly informed of the evolution of the situation.

Thank you very much for your understanding!
