Gîte d'alpage Les Écuries de Charamillon

A former alpine farm converted into a hut, a quarter of an hour's walk from the Charamillon gondola arrival point, on the direct descent from the Col de Balme to Le Tour. About twenty beds in small dormitories, supplemented by a few equipped tents and bivouac pitches that give access to the toilets and washrooms. The terrace looks out over the Mont Blanc massif and the upper Chamonix valley: an ideal stop to break up the Trient – Tré-le-Champ stage.
