Bostan mountain refuge
Situated half-way up the mountain, Bostan is open summer and winter, in a sunny valley which looks down on the river Giffre. In the middle of alpine meadows and rocky expanses, it is the ideal place to discover the flora and fauna of the mountains. 700m height on 5km.
In summer, it is easily accessible on foot, for everyone in about 1h45 from the Allamands car park and offers the possibility of hiking in a loop for the day or over several days.
Lunchtime catering (omelets, salads and Savoyard specialties)
For the good and the pleasure of your taste buds, the caretaker has chosen to use organic and local products for the preparation of all our small dishes.
A la carte lunch for lunch and a hiker’s menu in the evening.
In summer, the Refuge is located on the GRP des Dents Blanches and Tour du Haut Giffre route.
– Day hike: Col de Bostan – Tête de Bostan – Dents Blanches
– Ideas for a 2-day tour with nearby refuges: de Folly, or de la Vogealle (for good walkers, specific equipment sometimes necessary)
Each waste is sorted then returned to the valley and the degradable material is composted. Electricity is provided by photovoltaic panels.
