The verdict
The Refuge de la Flégère is a real mountain house, at 1,877 metres, facing the Mont Blanc massif and the valley. In winter you have lunch there; in summer you sleep there on half board, on the Tour du Mont Blanc.
Do not confuse it with L'Adret, the other restaurant in the same area.
On the menu
Traditional Savoyard cooking, mainly at lunchtime in winter. Half-board and bivouac rates are published on the hut's website.
Our advice
For summer 2027, the hut opens from 12 June to 18 September and takes bookings from 5 January: note the date if you are planning the Tour. In winter, check that La Flégère ski area is open before going up.
