Cabane du Combal (Lac Combal) – Gîte on the TMB

Cabane du Combal

A small private structure beside the Val Veny track, between Lac Combal and the moraine of the Miage Glacier, where the TMB leaves the valley floor to climb the Mont-Favre ridge. Its seven rooms for 3 or 4 people each have their own washroom, with linen provided: a rare comfort at this altitude. As electricity is generated on site, you will be asked to limit device charging. A good fallback when Elisabetta is full.
