Refuge de Moëde Anterne

Refuge de Moëde Anterne sits at 1996m in the Valais Alps, on the north side of Lac d'Anterne. Reach it from Le Châble via the Sentier du Lac d'Anterne, a 5-hour hike gaining 800m. Alternatively, take the Le Châble–Verbier gondola to 2002m, then walk 2.5 hours down to the refuge. The hut is accessible from mid-June to end of September.
The refuge sleeps 97 guests across 13 private rooms and dormitories. Half-board is standard—dinner and breakfast included with accommodation. The kitchen serves hearty mountain food. No WiFi means you're disconnected, which most hikers appreciate after a day on the trail. Shower facilities are available. This is a working hut, not a tourist pit stop, so expect a genuine refuge atmosphere.
Book 4–6 weeks ahead for summer weekends; July and August fill quickly. Call ahead to secure a bed. The refuge operates as a hiking hub: use it as a base for day walks around the lake and peaks, or as a waypoint on longer traverses toward the Pennine Way. Private rooms are worth requesting if you have the budget—they go fast. Expect the hut to close from October through mid-June.
