About
Refuge de Trébentaz sits at 1,865m on the slopes above the Val d'Aosta in Piedmont. Reach it from the village of Trébentaz by foot in roughly 2 hours, gaining 400m through pasture and light woodland. The hut also serves hikers working the traverse between Colle della Croce and points south toward Mont Rosé's lower trails.
The refuge sleeps 28 across dormitory rooms. Hot showers are available—a genuine comfort at this elevation. Meals focus on hearty valley cooking: polenta, fondue, and local cheese plates. The season runs June through September, weather permitting. Half-board (bed and dinner) is the standard arrangement, though the hut does serve breakfast and packed lunches.
Book directly by phone or email at least 4–6 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. July is busiest. Mid-June and September attract fewer hikers and offer easier access. The hut fills regularly, particularly Friday through Sunday, so plan ahead rather than counting on walk-in availability.
