Services for children

The ascent to the refuge is the ultimate family hike, with no particular difficulties. The route is varied, and children will be delighted to discover the waterfalls and the abundant flora and fauna. (marmot whistles, waterfall drizzle depending on the season, approaching ibex...) Children's library and numerous board games, outdoor games (tree house, sandbox, wheelbarrow, stilts, tricycle and trailer for group adventures, soccer cage and ball for teenagers, giant wooden games...). Prices and menus for children under 12 Exclusive and fun idea: educational sheets for younger children to download and fill in on the way up, to avoid the traditional "when will we get there? Answers at the refuge, with a little surprise for those who play along. And always : the "Nature Discovery" backpack loaned by the refuge for fun walks higher up (8-12 years). Don't hesitate to ask for it!

New for 2025

In addition to regular events (storytelling evenings, Nepalese evenings, tastings, botanical outings, sharing aperitifs...), new events are planned for summer 2025
