Cabin de Loz

Cabane de Loz sits at 1,850m in Haute-Savoie, serving as a base for hikers and mountaineers working the ranges around Mont-Blanc and the surrounding limestone plateaux. Access is from the Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval valley. The standard approach takes 2.5–3 hours on foot, climbing steadily through forest before breaking into alpine meadow. The hut sits well-positioned for day routes across the Chaîne du Roc and approaches to peaks in the immediate area.
The cabin sleeps 12 in a mix of dormitory and smaller rooms. Meals are served daily during the season—expect solid mountain fare cooked on-site. There is no shower facility; water comes from a spring source outside. The hut operates year-round but is most reliably staffed from May through September. Winter use requires advance coordination as the caretaker may not be present. Simple heating and cooking equipment support self-catering groups outside the main season.
Book directly with the hut keeper in advance, especially for summer weekends and July–August. Phone ahead to confirm opening dates and meal availability. Spring and autumn offer quieter conditions but verify access conditions with the hut before traveling in shoulder months.
