Hôtel-restaurant Le Prarion (Prarion 1860)

A high-altitude hotel-restaurant run by the same family since 1928, at the summit of the Prarion, next to the top of the gondola from Les Houches and a 30–40 minute climb above the Col de Voza. The panorama of the Mont Blanc range is one of the widest in the area. The accommodation (rooms and gîte in small dormitories) has been announced as "temporarily closed" for lack of staff, while the restaurant stays open in season: check before planning to sleep there.
