Claire, Arnaud and their team will be delighted to welcome you for a drink, a meal or a night. We offer rooms of 3 to 6 beds with a private bathroom for each of them. We will receive you for a step on your way on the GR96. In winter, you can live the magical experience of sleeping on the Grand Massif ski area, in its wild part. The fireplace will allow you to relax after a good day skiing.
On the GR96, from Samoëns to Samance (Lake Annecy), and approaching the GR5, the Refuge du Lac de Gers welcomes you in a magnificent setting full of abundant flora and fauna. In addition to the cottage, we offer a covered, simple cuisine of terroir, tradition and quality at the edge of the Lake in the summer and on the Cascades slope in the winter.
You will enjoy a rest in the calm of the Combe de Gers, by the lake. With abundant flora and fauna this place is ideal for recharging batteries. Lovers of mountain lake fishing will be able to tease the trout, while others will relax on the terrace.
In the autumn, the stag slab closes the summer season...
