Mont Joly, Mountain peak in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France.

Mont Joly reaches an elevation of 2,525 meters and presents extensive views of the surrounding peaks, including Mont Blanc, Charvin, and the Bionnassay needles.

The Refuge du Mont-Joly, constructed in 1925 at an altitude of 2,002 meters, underwent complete renovation in 2016 to enhance visitor facilities and dining spaces.

A panoramic fresco created by artist Bernard Bouts in 1932 decorates the interior walls of the mountain refuge, representing the local mountain landscape.

The hiking trail to Mont Joly spans 5.6 kilometers from Saint Nicolas de Véroce, requiring approximately 6 hours for completion with an elevation gain of 1,001 meters.

The refuge contains two dormitories with 14 sleeping places, available exclusively during summer season, equipped with electricity and water from a natural spring source.
