Rifugio I Re Magi
2.7About
Rifugio I Re Magi sits at 1,768m in the Hautes-Alpes, accessible from the Vallée de la Guisane near Serre-Chevalier. The hut can be reached on foot from Monêtier-les-Bains in roughly 3 hours following marked trails through open pasture and light forest. Summer conditions allow direct access; winter approach requires proper equipment and experience. The location works well as a base for day walks in the Parc National des Écrins foothills or as a stop on longer ridge traverses.
Rifugio I Re Magi offers 30 beds in shared dormitories. Half-board is standard: dinner and breakfast come with your stay. The kitchen prepares straightforward mountain meals using local ingredients. Showers and basic toilets serve all guests. The hut opens from late June through September, closing during autumn storms and winter snow. Staff speak French and Italian; English is limited. Bring a sleeping bag liner or expect a small rental fee.
Book by email or phone at least four weeks ahead for July and August. Early September remains quieter than peak season. The hut fills quickly on weekends and during school holidays. Direct contact with the management is essential—no online booking system exists. Confirm your arrival time when you reserve, as the hut may not have staff present outside standard hours.
