Auberge de Bellecombe

1.5
Savoie, France

About

Auberge de Bellecombe sits at 1,194m in the Tarentaise valley, a working mountain inn rather than a climbing hut. From the village of Bellecombe-en-Tarentaise, the hut is a 45-minute walk up a forest track—straightforward and suitable for families. The location works well as a base for day hikes into the surrounding Savoyard peaks and for walkers traversing between valleys. The hut sits on the GR55 long-distance trail, making it a natural stop for multi-day trekking.

The auberge has 30 beds across simple rooms and serves meals in a traditional mountain dining room. Dinner and breakfast are available; order meals when you book. The kitchen uses local produce where possible. This is a casual, non-technical refuge run like a country hotel rather than a climber's base. Open year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and road maintenance.

Book by phone on +33 (0)4 79 24 71 49 or email directly to secure a bed, especially for weekends from June to September. The hut fills quickly during summer school holidays and autumn. Winter bookings are flexible but confirm that access is passable before you travel.
