Auberge Maya-Joie

A large chalet-style house in La Fouly at 1600 m, used to groups.

The place

A large chalet-style house in La Fouly at 1600 m, geared to groups and school parties, which means it has capacity when the small places do not. In a village this size that matters: La Fouly has a few dozen beds in total, and everyone coming over the Grand Col Ferret wants one of them on the same night.

It is not the atmospheric choice, and it does not pretend to be. It is the one that has room in the second week of August. It sells through the Tour portal, so you can see in the planner whether it does — and if La Fouly is genuinely full, the honest answer is to sleep at La Peule above the village or push on down the valley, rather than to hope.

Getting there

Booking

This hut sells its beds through the Tour du Mont-Blanc booking portal, so the planner can show you its live availability night by night — and warn you the moment a full night frees up. Every night on the Tour must be booked; there is no walk-in option in season.
