Refuge de Sales

SIXT FER A CHEVAL - Altitude: 1877 m - Capacity: 54 People

Opening period: Open from June 14th 2025 to September 21nd 2025

The refuge is located at 1877 m in a preserved valley in the heart of the Sixt-fer-à-cheval Nature Reserve. It is a family hike known for its access marked out by waterfalls, for the Dérochoir and its view on the Mont-Blanc and for the Désert de Platé, a geological curiosity.
Our parents created the Refuge in 1981 out of love for nature and the 2024 , and were the guardians of the place for 32 years. We have taken over the family business with the same values of simplicity and authenticity.
