The High Life: The Final Season of Chamonix's Oldest Refuge | Patagonia Films

In the final season of the original 119-year-old Le Refuge de la Charpoua, hutkeeper of eight years, Sarah Cartier, and her two children, embrace the high life and all its history in the mountains near Chamonix, France. The timeworn little building, set to be rebuilt in the same place in 2023, is surrounded by towering granite walls and alpine light providing them with a mystical setting to do all the dailies of cooking, cleaning and climbing; a place to breathe in the freedom of the high life while the sights and sounds of the busy world below fall away.
Director: Pierre Cadot
Production: Yucca Films
Original Music: Jonathan Labigne and Yann Chapelet - Zikali
Additional Music: Alton Ellis - True Born African

    The beauty of this film leaves a lump in my throat. When she's dancing to reggae, with her baby, while a candle burns and a storm surrounds them - it's like a work of art

    When I arrived at this hut for the first time in 1988, I was immediately impressed. When I look at the images in this film portrait, I have to say that hardly anything has changed since then. I knew immediately that this was my favorite place in the entire Alpine region. And he remains so to this day. This place, the small hut with few sleeping places and the gigantic view have remained unforgotten in my memories. A few years ago I hiked over from the Refuge du Couvercle specifically to visit this place again and I found it just as I had hoped. Only a few prayer flags fluttered in the wind. Otherwise just silence. I admire Sarah for coming up here with her children in the summer to host the mountaineers. I hope Sarah feels comfortable in the new hut and I am sure that one day my path will lead me there again. Thanks for the portrait and all the best. Richard from Germany
