About
Refuge de Lognan sits at 2032m in the Val d'Anniviers, above the village of Grimentz. Reach it on foot from Grimentz in 1 hour 15 minutes via a well-marked trail through alpine meadows. The hut serves as a base for day hikes across the Anniviers region and lies on the crossing route to Zinal and Chandolin. From here you can reach Pointe de Nava (2815m) in 2 hours or traverse to Zinal in 3.5 hours.
The 50-bed hut offers dorm beds and a few private rooms. Meals are available: expect simple evening menus and hearty breakfasts. The kitchen supplies hot water for packed lunches. Basic facilities include pit toilets (no shower). The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions. Phone ahead if you're arriving in poor weather—the staff can advise on trail conditions.
Book directly by phone or email. July and August are busy, especially weekends; reserve 3-4 weeks ahead for guaranteed beds. The hut can accommodate walk-ins on quieter days but don't rely on it. Half-board or full-board rates are standard. Bring cash or check what payment methods they accept when booking.
