About
Refuge de Folly sits at 1550m in Haute-Savoie, making it accessible for walkers of moderate fitness. The hut lies on established hiking routes in the region and serves as a base for day walks and multi-day treks. Access is straightforward from the nearest valley settlements—allow 2–3 hours on foot depending on your starting point. Check locally for seasonal trail conditions before you go.
The refuge holds 73 beds across mixed dormitories. Meals are prepared daily and you should order dinner when you book. Showers are available, though water can be cold depending on season. The hut runs from spring through autumn; confirm exact opening dates when you contact them. There is no WiFi, so plan accordingly if you need to stay connected.
Email or phone the refuge directly to book. Book at least 6–8 weeks ahead for July and August, as the hut fills quickly during school holidays. Weekend visits in June and September need 3–4 weeks' notice. Weekday slots outside peak season are usually available with shorter notice. Specify your arrival time and dietary requirements when booking.
