La Mer de Glace has always drawn climbers from around the world, leaving them enchanted and impressed. Overlooking the Mer de Glace and the magnificent peak of the Dru, Terminal Neige Refuge du Montenvers Hotel offers some of the most scenic views in the world. Built in 1880 to accommodate the first mountaineers and travelers who came to visit the Mer de Glace, it displays a sober granite façade, dotted by many small windows.

This “Made in Mont Blanc” refuge has a delightfully outdated feel in its 20 rooms and suites. The original furniture has been preserved and re-used to give it new life. In the bedrooms, old wooden chimneys have been transformed into bookcases, bedside lamps replaced with miner’s lamps and leather travel trunks, brought back from journeys and expeditions of the past, turned into bedside tables.
