Chalet la Planiaz
2.7About
Chalet la Planiaz sits at 1,436m in the Valais Alps, near Fully. The hut is a 90-minute hike from the village of Fully, following well-marked trails through mixed woodland and alpine pasture. The approach gains about 400m elevation and suits hikers of moderate fitness. From the Fully train station you can reach the village trailhead in 20 minutes on foot.
The chalet is run by the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC/CAS) and has 30 beds across 6 private rooms and dormitory spaces. It serves hot meals and packed lunches; half-board rates are standard. The kitchen can accommodate dietary requests if you notify the warden in advance. There is no WiFi. The hut operates year-round, though conditions above 1,800m are serious in winter and require mountain experience. Summer is the busy season. The hut works well as a base for day hikes on the Fully slopes or as a stop on longer traverses through the region.
Book directly with the hut by phone (+41 27 746 14 89) or through the SAC website. July and August fill 4–6 weeks ahead. May through September is reliably open with good weather windows. Winter bookings are possible but confirm snow conditions and access before committing. Group rates are available for parties of eight or more.
