Some History ...

You can see on the photograph above the descendants of Alfred Wills in visit with the refuge in 2004 with his grand-grand son of the name of Alfred Wills (in red). He gave its name to the current refuge, built by the commune of Sixt in 1980-1981, which is with the site of the old mountain pasture of Anterne (Country cottages of Anterne) which was used by the "communiers" of Sixt during the summer (the “Fonds” is the twin mountain pasture for spring and the autumn), the mountain pasture was repurchased by the commune of Passy in 1901 and was given up in 1961. We are thus on the commune of Passy but in property of Sixt Fer à Cheval.

It is recommended to reserve in advance.
