Nature reserve
The refuge is located within the nature reserve of Sixt fer à Cheval, adjoining that of Passy which extends over a vast territory of 9200ha.
Beyond its size, which makes it the largest nature reserve in Haute-Savoie, it is the richness of the territory over which it extends that makes it exceptional.
The limestone massif that is the Haut-Giffre is subject to intense erosion which creates a very contrasting relief where swamps, forests, mountain pastures, cliffs, lapait, glaciers, glacial cirques rub shoulders…
The diversity of the environments encountered (wetlands, mixed forests, cliffs, lawns, etc.) associated with a high altitudinal range (900 – 3100m) offer environments of great richness.
Contact

– Fauna: Chamois, ibexes, and marmots and if you are patient and observant, you may have the chance to see the bearded vulture, the alpine newt, the black salamander, the golden eagle or even the ptarmigan.
– Flora: Over the months, you will be able to observe a very rich flora including gentians, martagon lilies…
– Geology: 1 hour from the refuge is the classified site of the Platé Desert, one of the largest karstic plateaus in Europe. Over 15km2 extend thick limestone slabs from the polished and cracked Tertiary era called Lapiaz.
