Refuge Laval

Part of the hamlet of the chalets de Laval at an altitude of 2010 m, the completely rebuilt chalet-style municipal refuge welcomes you in a friendly, family atmosphere. Capacity of 38 beds spread over 6 dormitories upstairs; on the ground floor, a dining room dominated by a beautiful "Tulikivi" masonry stove, bathroom facilities with hot showers, and a drying room running on the refuge's pico-hydro plant that will dry your clothes and (ski) boots in winter and summer alike. The refuge will be your base camp for all your excursions in this bright Clarée valley, and after the effort comes the comfort!!!!! You can recharge your batteries while enjoying simple, generous cooking made of little dishes and tasty home-made desserts.
