Auberge de Combeau
4.2About
Auberge de Combeau sits at 1370m in the Isère, serving hikers working the lower valley trails and multi-day routes across the northern Vercors. The hut sits roughly 2 hours from Pont-en-Royans on foot via marked paths through mixed forest. Road access to the trailhead is straightforward; allow time to park and navigate the final approach on foot. This elevation makes it accessible during shoulder seasons when higher refuges are still snowed in.
The auberge handles 18 guests across simple shared rooms. The kitchen serves evening meals and breakfast—book your dinner order when you arrive or call ahead. Facilities include running water and basic toilet arrangements. The hut runs year-round, though demand peaks in July and August. Winter access depends on conditions; confirm before planning cold-season visits.
Call ahead to reserve beds, especially on weekends and during school holidays. July books out 6–8 weeks in advance. The hut takes phone reservations; confirm your arrival time so they can plan meal service. Bring cash if possible—card payment options are limited in this remote location.
