About

Auberge du Truc stands at 1750m in Haute-Savoie, accessible by foot from the valley in 2.5 to 3 hours depending on your starting point. The approach is straightforward hiking—no scrambling required—making it a good option for walkers wanting genuine Alpine terrain without technical difficulty. The hut sits on or near hiking routes connecting several valleys in the region.
The auberge accommodates 28 people in mixed and private rooms. They serve dinner and breakfast; half-board is standard, though day visitors can eat à la carte. Facilities include running water and heating. The hut operates year-round, though staffing and services drop significantly outside summer and early autumn. Check opening dates before planning a winter visit.
Book direct by email or phone at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead for July and August. July weekends fill quickly. Outside peak season, 2 to 3 weeks' notice is usually sufficient. Confirm your arrival time when booking, as the hut is unstaffed during certain hours.
