Chalet du Queget
3.1About
Chalet du Queget sits at 1,510m in the Savoie massif, a working base for trails into Parc National de la Vanoise and the surrounding valleys. The hut is reached on foot from the Nancroix hamlet (about 1 hour 30 minutes) or from Col du Loze (roughly 2 hours). This is an established approach for climbers tackling peaks in the Queget range and for hikers linking into the longer GR55 Grande Traversée of the Vanoise. The terrain is steep in places, especially on descent, so fit calves required.
The hut operates year-round under FFCAM (CAF) management with capacity for around 20 people. They serve half-board meals (dinner and breakfast included) or simple lunch stops for day walkers. Water comes from the spring nearby, and heating relies on wood stove—rooms are basic but functional. Winter access is weather-dependent and requires mountaineering experience; phone ahead before attempting a winter visit. The hut is quieter than valley alternatives, which suits groups or those planning early starts to high peaks.
Book directly with the guardian during season (June through September is reliably staffed). Outside these months contact FFCAM Savoie. Expect crowding in July-August weekends, particularly around Bastille Day. June and September offer steadier availability. Bring your own sleeping bag.
