About
Refuge du Gioberney sits at 1635m in the Hautes-Alpes, on the edge of Parc National des Écrins. The hut lies on the GR54 high-level circuit, making it a natural stop for multi-day hikers. Access is via the Gioberney valley trail from Valloire; allow 2–3 hours from the road. The location works equally well as a base for day hikes into the park's granite peaks and alpine meadows.
The refuge operates year-round with 25–30 beds split between dormitories and private rooms. Half-board is standard (dinner and breakfast included); packed lunches are available. Showers are available, a rarity at this elevation. The kitchen serves solid mountain food. Winter access requires snowshoes or skis; confirm conditions before visiting. Staff are experienced with trekkers on long GR circuits.
Book directly by email or phone at least 4 weeks ahead, especially June to September when the hut fills quickly with GR54 traffic. July and August require 8 weeks' notice. Outside summer, weekend slots can be tight. The hut prefers advance payment to secure a bed. No walk-ins; always call ahead, even in low season.
