The Refuge Spirit
AT LA MER DE GRACE
To go to the Refuge du Montenvers, a 30 minutes trip aboard the little red train is waiting for you. Destination: 1913 m altitude at the foot of the famous Mer de Glace. You will find in this refuge Made in Mont Blanc a deliciously old atmosphere, a place of sharing, authenticity and homecoming!
A LIVING LEGEND
Built in 1880 to accommodate the first mountaineers and travelers who came to visit the Mer de Glace, it displays a sober granite façade, dotted by many small windows. After a renovation, the historical charm of the site, as well as the "refuge" spirit seep into the unconscious of each visitor under the name Refuge du Montenvers: inviting a place of sharing, authenticity and homecoming.

If you've always dreamt of having a mountain all to yourself and adding a little sparkle to your life, then take your other-half on a passionate mountain-top escapade or celebrate a totally unique honeymoon here. The destination is sure to surprise. Perched high up in the mountains, you discover the famous Mer de Glace and its Ice Cave. The dream continues at this intimate refuge imbued with tranquillity and serenity.
Digital Detox
MOUNTAIN SPIRIT WITH SOUL
When here, having the right to switch off is no special favour. You are invited to put your smartphone to one side and replace it with books and board games while on a digital detox break. At this stylish refuge, isolated from the rest of the world, you put down your digital devices and unwind in a pixel-free environment. With its picturesque lounge and modern, comfortable rooms and dormitories, you put yourself on “off” mode, away from all the hustle and bustle, all the while surrounded by the razor-sharp peaks of the vertiginous mountains.
CHILL & RELAX
How incredible it feels to find yourself in a state of contemplation. On the terrace at the restaurant Le Panoramique Mer de Glace, you are almost within reach of the Mer de Glace and the Drus peaks and you pop on your hiking boots for the Montenvers traverse. Faced with this display of nature, you take a breath of fresh air and stillness, a moment in which to reconnect with what is genuine and renew ties with life's essentials.
