Status to be confirmed for the coming season: contact the establishment before planning a night here. Contradictory status: order DDT-2026-0474 of 4 June 2026 (valid until 31 December 2026) authorises the Pont de la Rollaz area (40 tents), but OpenStreetMap marks it "Area closed (summer 2026)" and the reserve-bivouac74.fr app lists only La Balme and the Pontet leisure area as tolerated zones in Les Contamines. Rate and services (water, toilets) not confirmed. Altitude estimated from a digital terrain model.
The prefectoral order of June 2026 still lists it with a capacity of 40 tents, but other signs suggest it was not open in summer 2026. Be sure to check its status before counting on it.
