Cabanne de Plan Névé
2.4About
Cabanne de Plan Névé sits at 2,262m in the Valais Alps, accessible from the Bagnes Valley. Most hikers approach from Le Châble via the Plan de la Lay route. The walk takes roughly 4–5 hours depending on conditions and your fitness. The hut lies on the GR5 long-distance trail and serves as a logical stop for anyone traversing the high Valais or making ascents in the surrounding peaks.
The hut accommodates 35 people in shared dorms. Meals are provided—book your dinner and breakfast when you reserve your bed. Drinking water is available on site. The season typically runs from June through September, though dates shift with snow conditions. The guardian can advise on conditions for onward hiking and technical climbs in the area. This is a working mountain hut, not a hotel—expect simple, functional accommodation.
Book direct by email or phone. July and August fill quickly; aim to book at least 2–3 weeks ahead for summer weekends. Shoulder season (June, September) offers more flexibility. Confirm current contact details with the SAC before booking, as mountain hut information changes seasonally.
