About
Rifugio Fontana Mura sits at 1726m in the Savoie region of the French Alps, serving hikers on routes through the lower alpine zone. The hut is accessible on foot from the Val d'Isère area; typical approach times run 3 to 4 hours depending on your starting point and fitness. This is a working base for day hikes into surrounding terrain and multi-day traverses across the region.
The refuge accommodates 25 people in simple dormitory beds. Meals are available—contact the keeper ahead to confirm what's being served on your dates. You'll find drinking water and flush toilets on site. The hut operates seasonally; verify opening dates before planning your trip, as spring and autumn weather can close mountain access.
Book directly by email or phone as early as possible. July and August fill quickly; aim to reserve at least 6 weeks ahead for peak season. Outside summer, booking a week or two in advance usually works. Confirm your arrival time when you book, especially if you're planning to arrive late in the day.
