About

Gîte Refuge du Laverq sits at 1,570m in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, serving hikers on routes through the southern French Alps. The hut is accessible from the village of Laverq by foot in roughly 1.5 hours on a marked trail. Summer access is straightforward; winter snow can block the approach road, though the hiking trail remains passable. The location works well as a base for day walks into the surrounding countryside or as a stopping point on longer traverses across the region.
The refuge operates as a small mountain gîte with a capacity of around 20 beds in mixed dormitories and a few private rooms. Hot meals are served during peak season, and basic supplies are available on site. Water and toilets are standard mountain facilities. The hut opens year-round, though staffing and meal service depend on advance notice outside July and August. Phone ahead if you're arriving in shoulder seasons.
Book directly by email or phone as soon as your trip dates are fixed. July and August fill quickly—aim to book at least 4 weeks ahead for these months. Outside summer, contact the hut 2–3 weeks in advance to confirm staff availability and whether meals will be prepared for your group. Half-board (bed and meals) and bed-only options are available.
