ヴァノワーズの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

This is a refuge without a manager. There's an app to register. A fee of €12 per adult is expected in 2025. There's a fountain outside, gas, and minimal electricity. Inside, there are 24 beds, providing basic comforts, but it's still important to be self-sufficient.

The surroundings are beautiful. I'm not very enthusiastic about the refuge itself. There's a very long line upon arrival. You have to leave your room before 8 a.m. Showering is also not possible after that.

Refueling that comes at just the right time!

A welcome refreshment point!!

The Saut refuge, located in the Vanoise park, offers dormitories for 8 and 6 people as well as rooms with 2 to 4 beds. The refuge also has a room with disabled access. You can also enjoy a continuous catering service. Reservations and information on opening times are available on the refuge website: https://www.refuges-vanoise.com/fiche-hebergement-le-saut----bql5a3s5xavw.html

A superb view of the valley

Good cabin to spend the night

Very nice place to spend the night. The dorms are modern (renewed) and spacious. For a fee (1 euro) you can take a hot shower for 3 minutes. You can eat with other guests in the dining room, or prepare your own meal in the guest kitchen. You can camp on the wooden deck outside if there is room. In the high season you have to book such a place well in advance. Tip: take an evening walk in the vicinity of the hut. We saw a herd of 15 ibex nearby.
