Overnight in a mountain lakeside refuge

Overnight in a mountain lakeside refuge

We propose you to go to the Bargy massif on the heights of Grand-Bornand. Our adventure will start on the Samance plateau above Chinaillon. We are in the alpine pastures where many cows, tarines and montbéliardes graze the good grass of the mountains. Then the ascent becomes steeper as we pass under the aiguille verte. After a pass, a lake is revealed below, nestled in a basin with its alpine hamlet. This is our destination for the night. Our wooden refuge is run by Jean-François and his wife who are already busy preparing good food for dinner. All the ingredients are there to spend a first beautiful night in a refuge!
