Refuge D'Entre Deux Eaux

Refuge d'Entre Deux Eaux sits at 2,082m in the Vanoise massif, between the Lac de Roselend and Barrage de Roselend dam. Most hikers approach from the Roselend parking area via a 2-hour trail that gains 450m. The walk is steady but straightforward, following valley paths and climbing to the hut's position on the eastern shore. Winter access is unreliable due to avalanche risk and snow depth.
The refuge operates as a simple mountain shelter with 50 beds across multiple rooms. Meals are basic but hearty: four-course dinners and packed lunches available if ordered ahead. Showers and toilets are available but expect mountain-hut standards. The hut stays open June to September, closing during heavy snow. No Wi-Fi or mobile signal. It's managed by FFCAM volunteers and serves as a base for traverses into the Parc National de la Vanoise, day walks around Roselend, and routes towards Refuge de la Combe de l'A.
Book 4–8 weeks ahead for July and August. Contact via email at the address on alpine-huts.com or by phone during opening hours. July and August weekends fill quickly. Shoulder months (June, September) have more availability. The hut prefers advance bookings for dinner and packed lunches, so confirm meal plans when reserving beds.
