Posto Tappa Alpe Toglie

Posto Tappa Alpe Toglie sits at 1546m on the Alpe Toglie in Savoie, within the Parc National de la Vanoise. The hut works best as a mid-valley base for routes into the park. Access is via the hamlet of Tignes-les-Brevières on the D902; from there it's a 2-hour walk gaining 600m on a hiking trail that is steep but well-marked. The location suits day trips to nearby cols and peaks rather than serious alpine touring.
The hut has 16 beds split across shared rooms. It offers hot showers—unusual at this elevation and a genuine comfort after a day on the slopes. Meals are available but you should confirm options in advance; self-catering is possible if you bring supplies. The hut operates year-round, though demand spikes during July and August when daytrippers also use the alpe. Winter access depends on snow conditions and local road clearing.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August. Outside summer months, a week's notice is usually enough. Arrive with cash; card payment facilities are limited. The hut is staffed seasonally, so confirm current opening dates before planning a visit, especially in shoulder seasons. It fills quickly on weekends in July.
