“ We spent a week in an apartment with a view of Mont Blanc, truly fantastic. During the heatwave, it was possible to sit on the balcony in the shade from noon. ”

“ Very, very good. It was our first time at Le Refuge restaurant. A magnificent view, unfortunately taken on a rainy day. We had booked in advance, which is recommended. We received a warm welcome. Our existing language barrier was handled very amicably; we were able to sort things out with the restaurant staff, who spoke a mixture of English, French, and German, and we received what we had ordered. For our main course, we had the trout fillet and baked cheese with regional accompaniments, as well as an excellent rosé. For dessert, we had a Chocolate Mouse and a Cup Mont Blanc mug. Overall, we can only give it the highest rating. It was phenomenal, and the chef knows how to plate the dishes. MEGA... We will be back. ”

“ A wonderful family meal for Christmas! The setting is magnificent with a breathtaking view. We ate very well from appetizer to dessert: the ingredients are of high quality and it shows. The only slight disappointment was the fries, which weren't exceptional, but everything else was perfect. The atmosphere is calm, the service is quick, and the staff is truly lovely. Special mention goes to the impeccable cleanliness, including the restrooms, which is much appreciated. I highly recommend it! ”

“ A lovely spot with a very warm welcome, nestled between the ski slopes. The location and view are magnificent. The food is good. I had a generous portion of tartiflette with delicious charcuterie. The blueberry tartlet was decent. I recommend it. ”
