## When do 2027 reservations open

- **[FFCAM central reservation](https://centrale.ffcam.fr/index.php?_lang=FR)** (2 huts here): No single date. Each refuge opens its own online calendar from late January onwards; most FFCAM refuge sites publish a guarding season but no booking-opening date at all. A deposit is paid online at booking. Cancellations inside the refuge's contractual period are not refunded. Checked 27 August 2026. The portal itself publishes no opening date, so treat the timing as unconfirmed.
- **[Independent refuges](https://www.refuges.info/)** (12 huts here): No portal and no common date. Each refuge takes bookings on its own terms; check the hut's own page or contact details.

Once a portal opens, the [Cerces map in HutScanner](/app?region=cerces) will show which of these huts still have beds on consecutive nights, so you can check a chain before you book on the portal.

## Planning a hut-to-hut route in the Cerces

Booking one hut is the easy half. The work is the chain: across these 14 huts and 62 walking routes, 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. HutScanner searches the whole network for a sequence that works on your dates, shifting the dates or swapping in a neighbouring hut when a chain does not hold, rather than leaving you to try the huts one at a time. 2 of the 14 huts here publish a calendar HutScanner can read, so those nights are checked rather than guessed; the rest are mapped and routable, and confirmed with the hut.

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).
