Tour of Mont Rosset with a night in La Balme refuge - family hike

The La Plagne Vallée tourist office has a few suggestions of ideas for routes of varying difficulty with overnight stays in a refuge. You take these routes under your own responsibility. Don't hesitate to ask for a guide to ensure you are guided in complete safety.

At the end of your day, enjoy a comforting halt on the sunny terrace at the Chalet du Bresson.
