Refuge de Pierredar

Refuge de Pierredar sits at 2,293m in the Valais Alps, accessible via hiking routes from the surrounding valleys. The hut serves as a base for day walks and multi-day traverses across the region's higher passes. Access times vary depending on your starting point, but most approaches take 3–5 hours from valley trailheads. The refuge is well-positioned for hikers moving between established Alpine routes.
The refuge has 22 beds across multiple rooms. Meals are served daily—book your dinner when you reserve your bed. Drinking water is available on-site. There is no self-catering kitchen, so you eat what the hut provides. The refuge operates seasonally; confirm opening dates before planning your trip. The mountain setting and modest facilities suit hikers focused on walking rather than comfort.
Book by phone as soon as your dates are fixed. July and August fill quickly—aim to book at least 6 weeks ahead for summer weekends. Shoulder seasons (June and September) are more relaxed. The hut fills mainly with hikers on established regional routes, so weekdays are generally quieter than weekends. Phone ahead to confirm current opening status and meal options.
