Chalet Alpin du Tour Refuge (1453m), Massif du Mont-Blanc
A friendly family-run refuge in the heart of Le Tour
Situated at the foot of the Le Tour hiking area, Chalet Alpin du Tour is a clean, simple and good value refuge. It is run in association with the Club Alpin Francais by a family who are enthusiastic about mountain life and want to share their passion with others.
The chalet has 86 beds and includes a bar and dining room. Rooms are available from 2 to 5 people.
Accommodation can be booked on a half-board, B&B or bed only basis; a lunch menu is offered to lodgers and day visitors. Meals can be enjoyed in the dining room or on the sunny terrace.
Bedding is provided, as are hot showers, but you must bring a sleeping bag liner. The refuge has a limited number of sleeping bag liners and towels to rent if you do not have your own.
The chalet is open and staffed from late March through to mid-September. Please enquire directly with the refuge for this season's prices and opening/closing dates.
Worth knowing
The refuge is a great base for alpinists and hikers to explore the surrounding area. The owners are happy to organise mountain guides, equipment and activities on request, please contact the refuge directly for further details and prices.
Directions
The chalet is very easily accessed; from the car park at the bottom of the Le Tour gondola simply follow Chemin du Rocher Nay until the road becomes a dirt track. Chalet Alpin du Tour is a large white building with a brown wooden roof.
