About
Anenhütte sits at 2,358m on the border between Piedmont and Switzerland. Most parties approach from the south via the Valle d'Aosta, starting from lower valleys and gaining 1,200–1,400m over 4–5 hours. The hut is accessible year-round in good conditions, though winter ascents require mountain experience and proper gear.
The hut sleeps 50 across mixed dormitories. Half-board and full-board meals are standard; the kitchen caters to vegetarian requests if you mention them when booking. Drinking water is reliable from the tap. The hut serves as a base for traverses to nearby peaks and cross-border routes into Switzerland. It operates twelve months a year but staffing drops in November and April—confirm availability before traveling.
Contact the hut directly by email or phone to reserve beds. Book 8–10 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. June, September and early October are quieter and often easier to secure at short notice. Winter stays (December–March) need confirmation of conditions and staffing. Pay by cash or bank transfer; clarify payment method when you book. The hut maintains its own website with current opening status.
