Try a more adventurous hike to the Refuge Martin. Ask our Mountain Team to book the refuge for lunch (in advance) and enjoy this famous hike which offers spectacular views all the way. 

After lunch, you can ascend further to the glacier and snow line. The hike is suited to those of good physical fitness, aged 12+. 

This is one of the finest walks in the area and it starts from our hotel. You can experience real mountain-gastro at 2154 metres and departing from the village of Brévières, it’s about a 3 hour hike up to the Refuge and promises sensational views all the way. After lunch you’ll have the option to continue (self guided) to the snow line for an hour before retracing your steps back down to the village.

This is a peaceful family friendly hike far from the crowds, running along trails which lead through woodland and more open alpine pastures the higher you ascend. Eventually it leads onto mountain pathways and arrives at the Refuge Martin which is open for lunch (an extra cost) and must be pre-booked, which we will do for you, depending on availability. Otherwise a packed lunch from the hotel is a great idea.
