On the heights of Les Crosets, overlooking the Champéry valley, the view of the Dents du Midi is breathtaking. The steep wall of the famous Valais Chablais mountain range is impressive.

The Chésery refuge is an old stable. It was renovated in the 1980s. Today, William and Simone Grenon, shepherds, manage the refuge in the pure mountain tradition.

William Grenon says: “Alpine shepherds since 1982 with our sheep breeding, we agreed to take care of the operation of the Refuge by offering, in addition to accommodation, local products and Valais specialties. »

You will find the prices and special conditions on the refuge website: lacvert.ch/fr/r%C3%A9servation

Be careful, bivouac is prohibited there.

Totally worth visit. Although it is not as well-known as Lac Vert, it is a hidden gem right on the top of mountain.
