Refuge le Chatelet D'Ayeres

We discovered this place by accident whilst walking up a path from Lac Vert and we had an excellent lunch there with our 9 month old. It has several bedrooms as a Refuge and has an old school charm as well as beautiful views of the mountains. The waitress was very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful when we wanted to order something our son would eat. The food we had was outstanding French mountain fare (hearty salads with rosti potatoes) and lovely desserts - the menu for both cost €15 which was very good value (as was the pitchet of wine)It's a short walk up from the Lac Vert car park along a trail (20 mins) and we'll definitely go again when we're in the area.

Randomly came over this refugee while visiting Lac Vert. Short walk through the forest from the lake. Significant with a good view of Mont Blanc, although it was cloudy. Lunch (Plat du Jour) was really excellent, and friendly atmosphere. We hadn't booked, but we got the last table, so you could see a reservation. Very recommended.
