Refuge des Prés

A refuge entirely rebuilt in 2021 on the Prés alpine pasture, at the foot of the Tête de la Cicle, slightly off the TMB above La Balme. Small wooden dormitories of four beds, hot showers included and open views of the Mont Blanc massif. Quieter than the refuges on the valley floor, it also opens in winter and until late October.
