Chalet de Landron

Chalet de Landron sits at 2,083m on the eastern flank of Mont-Blanc massif, in the Haute-Savoie. Most parties approach from the Vallée de Montjoie via Chamonix. The walk from Chamonix town takes 5–6 hours, following the valley floor then climbing steadily through forest and pasture to reach the hut. Summer parties often split the journey, stopping at lower huts like Gîte du Montenvers. Winter access requires mountaineering skills and proper snow equipment.
Chalet de Landron operates as a full refuge under FFCAM management. It has 40 places in dorm rooms and serves evening meals and breakfast. The refuge stocks limited supplies; bring snacks and water-treatment tablets if you're continuing into the high peaks. The main season runs June through October. Winter visits are possible but require prior arrangement with the guardian, and you must be self-sufficient for heating and cooking.
Book direct with FFCAM Chamonix section or contact the hut guardian 4–6 weeks ahead for July and August. Single nights are possible outside high season. The refuge is a proper working mountain hut, not a tourist stop; expect basic facilities and a working atmosphere. Bring your own sleeping bag and toiletries. The nearest reliable resupply is in Chamonix, so plan accordingly if you're making longer traverses.
