## Planning a route through Refuge de la Lavey

Booking one hut is the easy half. The work is the chain: every night needs a bed, at a hut you can walk to from the one before, on consecutive dates, and one full night sends you back to the start. From Refuge de la Lavey there is 1 onward hut within a day's walk, listed above, inside an Ecrins network of 43 huts. HutScanner searches that network for a sequence that works on your dates, rather than leaving you to try the huts one at a time.

Refuge de la Lavey is not bookable at the moment, so a route through this area is planned around the 21 huts in Ecrins whose calendars HutScanner reads, and the search will route around this one. [Plan a multi-night route through the Ecrins network](/app?region=ecrins&hut=hut_1546).

If you plan trips through ChatGPT or Claude, they can run this same search for you without opening the app, over the regions HutScanner has reviewed by hand. How that works is described in [using HutScanner with AI assistants](/guides/ai-assistants-and-hutscanner/), and the endpoint is documented in the [OpenAPI spec](/api/openapi.json).
