[Regions](/regions/) › Vanoise [Open in the HutScanner map](/app?region=vanoise) # Vanoise 38 huts · 470 walking routes · FR · season 1 June 2026 to 30 September 2026 The Vanoise massif in the French Alps holds a dense network of staffed refuges linking the Parc National de la Vanoise with the surrounding valleys. Park huts book through the Vanoise reservation portal; CAF-owned refuges book through the FFCAM system, so a single traverse often spans two booking sites. Reservations are mandatory during the staffed season and two to four months ahead is usually enough for July and August. 26 of 38 huts in this region have live-checked availability. ## Guides - [Bivouac or huts in the Vanoise: what the trip really costs](/guides/bivouac-vs-huts-vanoise-cost/) - [Wild camping and bivouac in the Vanoise](/guides/wild-camping-bivouac-vanoise/) ## When do 2027 reservations open - **[Refuges Vanoise](https://www.refuges-vanoise.com/index.php?alias=reservation)** (11 huts here): The portal publishes no opening date, and the refuge pages on it carried 2026 seasons only when last checked. Individual refuges announce their own opening. Reservation is mandatory in the staffed season and a deposit is taken online at booking. Cancellations inside the contractual period are not refunded. Checked 27 August 2026. The portal itself publishes no opening date, so treat the timing as unconfirmed. - **[FFCAM central reservation](https://centrale.ffcam.fr/index.php?_lang=FR)** (4 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. - **Refuges with a booking calendar on their own website** (11 huts here): No shared portal and no common date. Each of these refuges runs its own booking calendar on its own website and opens the coming season when it chooses; the hut page here links straight to it. Once a portal opens, the [Vanoise map in HutScanner](/app?region=vanoise) will show which of these huts still have beds on consecutive nights, so you can check a chain before you book on the portal. ## Huts in the Vanoise network | Hut | Altitude | Sleeps | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Chalet de Bonneval sur Arc](/huts/chalet-de-bonneval-sur-arc/) | 1810 m | 16 | live-checked | | [Fort Marie Christine](/huts/fort-marie-christine/) | 1483 m | 80 | book online | | [Gîte de la Bâtisse](/huts/gite-de-la-batisse/) | 1745 m | 18 | book online | | [Refuge Entre le Lac](/huts/refuge-entre-le-lac/) | 2146 m | 40 | book online | | [Refuge d'Entre Deux Eaux](/huts/refuge-d-entre-deux-eaux/) | 2120 m | 38 | live-checked | | [Refuge de Grand Plan](/huts/refuge-de-grand-plan/) | 2300 m | 26 | book online | | [Refuge de La Martin](/huts/refuge-de-la-martin/) | 2154 m | 32 | live-checked | | [Refuge de La Valette](/huts/refuge-de-la-valette/) | 2590 m | 44 | live-checked | | [Refuge de Peclet-Polset](/huts/refuge-de-peclet-polset/) | 2474 m | 84 | live-checked | | [Refuge de Plaisance](/huts/refuge-de-plaisance/) | 2170 m | 38 | live-checked | | [Refuge de Plan Sec](/huts/refuge-de-plan-sec/) | 2320 m | 64 | live-checked | | [Refuge de Rosuel](/huts/refuge-de-rosuel/) | 1556 m | 50 | live-checked | | [Refuge de Solaise](/huts/refuge-de-solaise/) | 2540 m | 14 | book online | | [Refuge de Turia](/huts/refuge-de-turia/) | 2397 m | 19 | live-checked | | [Refuge de l'Arpont](/huts/refuge-de-l-arpont/) | 2309 m | 92 | live-checked | | [Refuge de la Dent Parrachée](/huts/refuge-de-la-dent-parrachee/) | 2511 m | 40 | live-checked | | [Refuge de la Femma](/huts/refuge-de-la-femma/) | 2352 m | 44 | live-checked | | [Refuge de la Fournache](/huts/refuge-de-la-fournache/) | 2358 m | 37 | monitored | | [Refuge de la Glière](/huts/refuge-de-la-gliere/) | 2010 m | 32 | book online | | [Refuge de la Leisse](/huts/refuge-de-la-leisse/) | 2487 m | 32 | live-checked | | [Refuge des Barmettes](/huts/refuge-des-barmettes/) | 2010 m | 25 | book online | | [Refuge des lacs Merlet](/huts/refuge-des-lacs-merlet/) | 2417 m | 14 | book online | | [Refuge du Bois](/huts/refuge-du-bois/) | 1469 m | 56 | live-checked | | [Refuge du Col de la Vanoise](/huts/refuge-du-col-de-la-vanoise/) | 2518 m | 130 | live-checked | | [Refuge du Col du Palet](/huts/refuge-du-col-du-palet/) | 2587 m | 49 | live-checked | | [Refuge du Fond des Fours](/huts/refuge-du-fond-des-fours/) | 2537 m | 42 | live-checked | | [Refuge du Grand Bec](/huts/refuge-du-grand-bec/) | 2398 m | 36 | live-checked | | [Refuge du Lac Blanc](/huts/refuge-du-lac-blanc/) | 2300 m | 18 | book online | | [Refuge du Laisonnay](/huts/refuge-du-laisonnay/) | 1590 m | 16 | book online | | [Refuge du Mont Jovet](/huts/refuge-du-mont-jovet/) | 2350 m | 20 | book online | | [Refuge du Mont Pourri](/huts/refuge-du-mont-pourri/) | 2370 m | 56 | live-checked | | [Refuge du Plan des Gouilles](/huts/refuge-du-plan-des-gouilles/) | 2352 m | 40 | live-checked | | [Refuge du Plan du Lac](/huts/refuge-du-plan-du-lac/) | 2385 m | 42 | live-checked | | [Refuge du Roc](/huts/refuge-du-roc/) | 1911 m | 60 | live-checked | | [Refuge du Vallonbrun](/huts/refuge-du-vallonbrun/) | 2272 m | 37 | live-checked | | [Refuge du fond d'Aussois](/huts/refuge-du-fond-d-aussois/) | 2338 m | 42 | live-checked | | [Refuge l'Auberge de Bellecombe](/huts/refuge-l-auberge-de-bellecombe/) | 2350 m | 32 | live-checked | | [Refuge le Repoju](/huts/refuge-le-repoju/) | 1710 m | 20 | book online | ## Planning a hut-to-hut route in the Vanoise Booking one hut is the easy half. The work is the chain: across these 38 huts and 470 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. 26 of the 38 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).
