And for that extra touch that makes all the difference……our wine list, which is definitely
worth a try (organic wines,…).
During the day we serve a selection of meals, drinks, snacks….our specialties : the farcement and Blueberry juice.
"I would highly recommend that you try to arrive in the middle of the afternoon, to make the
most of the peaceful mountain atmosphere, giving you a feeling of getting away from il all….and
then of course, there is our wine list !" Bruno Pezet.

Some History ...
You can see on the photograph 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.
