A friendly, family-run mountain pasture. We'll be delighted to welcome you for a restful night in our refuge (dormitory only) or for a simple, generous meal in our inn (lunchtime only, preferably by reservation).

The Chardonnière refuge is located on the GR5 - GR96 route and is recommended for nature lovers. It is above all the alpine pasture for our herd of dairy cows. Here you'll find a warm, simple welcome, a generous, hearty meal cooked to the highest standard with products from our farm, and a night's sleep lulled to sleep by the sound of clarines.
