Gite la Fromagerie de Beaumont

Gîte la Fromagerie de Beaumont sits at 1,650m in the Haute-Savoie, in the foothills below Mont-Blanc. The gîte works best as a base for day hikes around Beaumont and the surrounding valleys rather than as a waypoint on a multi-day route. Approach on foot from the village of Beaumont itself—allow 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the exact trail. In winter, road access may be limited by snow, so check conditions before planning a visit.
The gîte has 10 beds split across simple rooms. Meals are available on request; the owner focuses on local produce and regional cooking. Basic facilities include hot water and heating. The gîte opens year-round but is quieter in winter—phone ahead to confirm availability outside summer months. This is a working farm-based gîte, not a mountain hut, so expect a different pace and style than a FFCAM refuge.
Book by phone directly with the gîte. Summer weeks (July–August) fill quickly; aim to confirm your dates at least 3–4 weeks ahead. Outside peak season, you have more flexibility. The gîte is small and owner-run, so a phone call is essential—do not rely on email or online booking systems.
