March – April 2026

Winter

Experience the mountains differently this winter in Chamonix!

The Lac Blanc Refuge will open in winter mode, offering a unique high-altitude experience in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif.

Set out on some of the finest ski touring routes in a breathtaking mountain setting.

The refuge becomes your base camp: climb in the morning, ski down snowy slopes during the day, enjoy an unforgettable sunset over the Aiguilles Rouges and the Mont Blanc massif, share a warm meal at the refuge, and depending on conditions, observe the sky and stars with our telescopes.
