Mont Joly

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

Mont Joly is a mountain peak reaching 2,525 meters in the French Alps near Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. From the summit, you can see Mont Blanc, the Charvin range, and the Bionnassay needles across the surrounding alpine terrain.

A mountain refuge was built at this location in 1925 at 2,002 meters elevation to serve hikers traveling through the area. The building received a complete renovation in 2016 that updated its facilities for modern visitors.

The summit draws hikers seeking views across the alpine landscape and a chance to connect with the mountains. The refuge serves as a gathering place where visitors can experience mountain life and rest during their journeys.

The route from Saint Nicolas de Véroce village takes most of the day to complete and requires steady hiking uphill. Wear good hiking boots and come prepared for alpine conditions, as the path gets steeper as you gain elevation.

Inside the refuge, a 1932 mural by artist Bernard Bouts decorates the walls and depicts the surrounding mountain landscape in artistic detail. This painted work captures how early 20th-century artists saw the alpine scenery around them.
