About
Refuge de la Loge sits at 1,976m in the Chaîne des Aravis, between the Pointe de Nyon and Tête de la Truche. The hut is reached from the village of La Clusaz in 1h 45 minutes via a well-marked path through mixed forest and alpine meadow. Most hikers start early from the valley and arrive by mid-morning. The terrain is straightforward with no scrambling required.
The refuge is run by FFCAM and holds 40 beds in dormitory rooms. Half-board meals are available: substantial dinners and hearty breakfasts fuel the next day's walking. The kitchen handles vegetarian requests if you mention them when booking. Water comes from a spring on the property. The hut opens year-round but staffing is limited November to March—check ahead if visiting outside summer. Basic facilities include a dining room, a small bar, and composting toilets. Winter visitors should expect a quieter atmosphere and reduced services.
Book directly with the refuge by phone or email 4 to 8 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. The hut fills quickly during school holidays in summer. Off-season visits (April, May, September, October) rarely need advance planning. Arrive by 4 p.m. to secure your spot and allow time for the evening meal service.
