Hôtel du Col de la Forclaz

Besides rooms, it houses a 38-bed gîte in four dormitories (duvets and sheets provided), a yurt and a small campsite. With its bus stop and grocery shop, it is a good place to stop to shorten the Champex – Trient stage; the home-made fruit tarts give the terrace its reputation.
