Chalet Joux Plane (Accommodation & Restaurant)

Perched near the Col de Joux Plane, this charming chalet offers rustic accommodation and a delightful restaurant with breathtaking views, especially towards Mont Blanc. It's a traditional Savoyard establishment, emphasizing local hospitality and hearty cuisine. The accommodation consists of comfortable, simply furnished rooms, ideal for hikers, cyclists, or those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the village bustle. The restaurant, open for lunch and dinner (seasonally), specializes in regional dishes like 'croûte au fromage' and 'tartiflette', often using locally sourced ingredients. It's a popular stop-off point for cyclists tackling the demanding Col de Joux Plane. Access is via a scenic, winding mountain road, which can be challenging in winter. Prices are generally moderate, reflecting its authentic mountain experience rather than luxury.
