Refuge du Montenvers
Montenvers, France
The granite Refuge du Montenvers stands above the Mer de Glace, reached most conveniently by the historic rack railway. Staying overnight changes the experience once day visitors leave, with mountain views and a lounge designed for books and conversation. Private rooms and suites retain the character of the old mountain hotel. Arrange dinner and rail access with the property before arrival: this is an isolated stay, and the railway closes for seasonal maintenance. There is no lift inside the hotel.
