About
Refuge de Spée sits at 1481m in the Jura mountains, accessible from the village of Métabief on the French border. The hut serves as a base for ridge walks and forest trails through limestone terrain. Most hikers approach via marked paths from Métabief (roughly 1.5–2 hours depending on route), making it a realistic day-hike destination or overnight stop on longer Jura traverses.
The refuge accommodates 35 people across dormitory beds and 3 private rooms. Hot showers are available. The hut serves meals and drinks; check directly about half-board options and dietary requirements. Opening dates vary by season—confirm current availability before planning your visit.
Book by phone directly with the refuge. The Jura attracts weekend hikers year-round, so reserve at least 2–3 weeks ahead for Saturdays and school holidays. Summer weekends and French holiday periods fill fastest. Contact the hut to discuss group bookings and arrival times.
