Refuge de Sales

Description

Occupied by former alpine chalets, the Vallon de Sales is known for its access dotted with waterfalls, for the Dérochoir and its view of the Mont-Blanc massif and for the Platé Desert, geological curiosity.
Roland and Elisabeth Mogenier created the refuge out of love for the mountains and nature in 1981, they were the guardians of the place for 32 years. Their children continued their family activity with the same values of simplicity, authenticity and respect for nature, while adding a touch of modernity, fantasy and dynamism.

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!
