Le Planet
3.6About
Le Planet sits at 1974m in the Savoie Alps, accessed via the Vallée de la Tarentaise. The approach takes 2–3 hours on foot from the nearest road-end; most parties start from Landry or push in from Montaimont. The hut anchors access to peaks in the Mont-Blanc massif's eastern approaches and works as a staging point for traverses toward the Chamonix valley. Snow can block the approach until June in heavy winters, so confirm conditions before committing.
This is a small, basic hut with 8 beds across shared dormitory rooms. The FFCAM-affiliated guardian runs a simple kitchen operation; bring your own food or pre-order meals through the hut manager. Water comes from snowmelt or a spring—carry a filter and plan accordingly. Toilets are outside, and there are no showers. The hut opens mid-June through September, though the exact dates shift with snowmelt. Conditions underfoot are rough and exposed; this is a working climber's hut, not a resort refuge.
Book directly with the guardian at least 2 weeks ahead, earlier if you need meals prepared. July and August fill quickly. Contact via the FFCAM website or through local mountain guides based in Landry. Winter access is rare and technical—only attempt with local knowledge and avalanche equipment.
