About
Refuge des Fonts sits at 1368m in the Valais, serving as a base for day hikes and multi-day traverses across the region's lower Alpine terrain. The hut is accessible by car to a nearby parking area, then a 30-minute walk on marked trails. Summer hikers use it to connect routes through the Val d'Entremont and onward toward higher passes.
The refuge holds 32 beds across dormitory spaces and 3 private rooms. Meals are available—dinner and breakfast are standard offerings, with packed lunches for departing hikers. The building has no WiFi, which means actual rest in the evenings. The hut operates seasonally, typically from late spring through early autumn; check opening dates before planning your trip. Water and basic supplies are on-site.
Book directly by email or phone at least 2–3 weeks ahead during July and August. Private rooms fill faster than dorm beds. Confirm your arrival time when booking, as staff need to prepare meals accordingly. Call ahead if you're arriving outside standard dinner service hours.
