Refuge Alfred Wills

Refuge Alfred Wills is a mountain hut in the French Alps in Haute-Savoie.

The shelter is named after Alfred Wills, a British mountaineer and judge of the High Court of England and Wales, he was also a passionate climber.

Arriving at Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval in 1850, Wills fell in love with the area and wanted to build a chalet.

In 1859 construction began of what he named "Eagle's Nest", what the inhabitants later called "the Castle".

After the war, repair costs proved to be too high, so the family put it up for sale.
