Rifugio Guglielmo Jervis

Rifugio Guglielmo Jervis sits at 2,250m in the Savoie Alps, on the border between Parc National de la Vanoise and surrounding ranges. The hut serves as a base for routes into the Vanoise massif and approaches to peaks like Mont Pourri. Access is via the Vallée de la Tarentaise. Most parties reach it in 3–4 hours from the valley floor, depending on your starting point and fitness. The final approach crosses open terrain with good trail markers.
The rifugio has 26 beds across mixed dorms. Showers and flush toilets function year-round. The guardian serves dinner and breakfast; bring your own lunch or eat à la carte at midday. The hut operates roughly May through September, with exact opening dates varying by snow cover. Winter mountaineering routes nearby mean some winter access is possible, but confirm status before traveling.
Book by email or phone directly with the hut. July and August demand beds weeks in advance—aim for 6–8 weeks' notice during peak season. June and September are less crowded. The hut sits on established hiking routes, so day visits are common; overnight guests should prioritize advance contact to guarantee space.
