Lake Gers Refuge

We welcome you in the heart of the Grand Massif, in a green setting. Come and discover a timeless place in the middle of pasture. Five cozy rooms and a restaurant bar welcome you for a stay full of healing.

Caroline, Nicolas and their team will be delighted to welcome you for a drink, a meal or an overnight stay. We offer rooms sleeping from 3 to 6, each with its own private bathroom. We'll be happy to welcome you for a stopover on your way along the GR96. In winter, you can enjoy the magical experience of sleeping in the wilderness of the Grand Massif. You can relax by the open fire after a hard day's skiing.
On the GR96, from Samoëns to Samance (Lac d'Annecy), and on the approach to the GR5, the Refuge du Lac de Gers welcomes you to a magnificent setting abounding in flora and fauna. In addition to the gîte, we offer simple, traditional, high-quality local cuisine by the lake in summer and on the Cascades trail in winter.
Enjoy a break in the peace and quiet of the Combe de Gers by the lake. With its abundant flora and fauna, this is an ideal place to recharge your batteries. Mountain lake fishing enthusiasts can tease out the trout, while others relax on the terrace.
In autumn, the stag roar brings the summer season to a close...
