The chalet serves as a hub for numerous marked hiking trails that begin right at the chalet in Plan de la Cry.<br><br>As a mid-mountain guide, the chalet is stocked with numerous maps and books on mountaineering. I can also recommend walking routes and more challenging hikes, as well as nearby restaurants for your leisurely breaks!<br><br>From April through October, you can enjoy the Merlet Wildlife Park—a 30-minute walk from the chalet—as well as the Bettey climbing site and other activities in the valley.<br><br>Accommodations: <br>The chalet is a former alpine chalet but is now<br> fully equipped with all necessary kitchenware and appliances, featuring 3 bedrooms (2 bedrooms with double beds + 1 dormitory-style room with 2 double bunk beds + 2 single bunk beds —sleeps 10), 1 bathroom, and an open-concept living room with kitchen.
