Description
Situated close to the arrival of the Mont Blanc Tramway, the Nid d'Aigle refuge, built in a circular arc, is particularly well integrated into the landscape.
Facing the Pointe Percée, the highest point in the Aravis massif, and dominated by the Aiguilles du Goûter (3,863m) and Bionnassay (4,052m), our terrace is an ideal place for contemplation. The impressive Bionnassay glacier is just a stone's throw away: early risers are likely to come across an ibex on its moraine.
Climbers returning late from the roof of Europe are always welcome: they can even reward themselves with a fondue!
The dormitories are equipped with duvets and pillows, so all you need is a personal sheet.
Sanitary facilities are available outside the refuge. There are no showers.
For those who wish to cook for themselves, we can provide a non-sack room: remember to bring your own cooking equipment. Our cook can also prepare pasta, omelettes and cold meats for you throughout the day.
Visitors to the refuge are required to bring their own rubbish back down.
Booking in the huts of the normal route of Mont Blanc (Nid d'Aigle, Tête-Rousse and Goûter) will be made only online up to 10 days before the date of the planned stay (this period was 20 days before). For bookings for a closer date (less than 10 days before the date of the planned stay), the reservation must be made by phone.
