Golèse Refuge

An easily accessible refuge for all between the Giffre and Manche valleys

Location
Morzine

Situated at 1600m between the Giffre and Manche valleys is the Golèse refuge, which is open virtually all year round now and offering overnight stay in either dormitories or private rooms and half board including a dinner full of mountain flavours.

This is a great experience to discover the mountains and breathtaking panoramas of the Dents du Midi and Mont Blanc. The Golèse refuge is an ideal starting point to discover the surrounding peaks of Bostan and The Dents Blanches.

Easily accessible to all, the refuge is about 1.5 to 2 hours walking with 600m of elevation gain. This is a stopover on the GR5 route of the Tour des Dents Blanches and the starting point for numerous hikes.

For day hikers, you can stop for snacks at any time and lunch is served on their large terrace or in the dining room. There is a choice of lunch dishes and a daily special menu - it's a good idea to book. 

There is the choice to take a private room or stay in the dormitory. You can book an overnight stay only or half board. The half board option includes breakfast and dinner with delicious Savoyard specialities, including gratin and fondue. There is an option to add breakfast, a shower and a picnic basket.
