Chalets Forestiers de la Balme

The place

Sleeping places: 4 Mattress places: 4 Both buildings are open. Regarding the first chalet renovated in 2018: A large room with benches, a table and a brand-new stove, as well as a cupboard with various utensils, including even a first-aid kit. The loft is off-limits! no more sleeping up there. In short, the place has become inviting again, which wasn't the case not so long ago. The second chalet, once reserved for the ONF, is similar to the first regarding the large room (table, benches, stove, cupboard) and includes 4 beds with mattresses. Don't forget the presence of two guest books, one for each chalet! Not to mention excellent insulation in each cabin. A small spring about ten meters from the refuge toward the Col de la Fougère. Very low flow (around 1 liter in 20 minutes). Mobile signal (Orange) most often 2 bars out of 4, sometimes 1, but it works. From the village of Cléry, hamlet of Raffort (2h30). Less than half an hour from the Col de la Fougère. Warning, access to the Balme chalets is dangerous during snowy periods, numerous avalanche paths are found on either side of the chalets!! ONF
