When do 2027 reservations open
- Prenota Rifugi CAI (2 huts here): No single date. Each rifugio opens its own availability calendar on the portal; until it does, the page shows the information sheet only and booking is by phone or email. A deposit by card is required to book. Each rifugio sets its own cancellation terms and penalties, shown on its page. Checked against the portal on 27 August 2026.
- FFCAM central reservation (1 hut 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 (6 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 Mont-Cenis map in HutScanner 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 Mont-Cenis
Booking one hut is the easy half. The work is the chain: across these 9 huts and 20 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. 3 of the 9 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, and the endpoint is documented in the OpenAPI spec.
