    Annexe de l'Universe

    Posted by Trefor 9 July 2007

    Annexe is a lovely apartment right in the heart of Chamonix Mont Blanc yet tucked away behind the church so as to be quiet. It is available for private rental throughout the summer and winter.

    La Bergerie de Planpraz

    Posted by rostaylor 27 October 2005

    Two thousand metres up and with blissful views, La Bergerie serves a very good gratin and decent steak. Those who are squeamish about offal will want to avoid the andouillette (tripe sausage), which is large and horrible.

    But if you're willing to wait for service and don't mind paying over the odds for Evian (water has to be hiked up the mountain), it really is a beautiful spot.

    Goûter Refuge

    Posted by MBrady 24 October 2005

    The Goûter Refuge is a mountain hut for climbers attempting an ascent on Mt Blanc. At 3,817m, it's not easy to get to - you would need climbing gear, a good level of fitness and a head for heights! However, once there, you can pop on a pair of slippers provided and dine above the clouds!

    It's a 6 hour trek from Nid d'Aigle (catch the cable car to Les Houches, then the Mt Blanc train).
