About
Cabane de la Gym sits at 1,380m in the Valais region, serving hikers on routes through the lower Pennine Alps. The hut is accessible year-round via a 1.5-hour walk from Le Châble, or 2 hours from Fionnay. Both approach routes follow well-marked trails through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The hut makes an ideal base for day hikes in the surrounding valleys or as a stopping point on longer traverses.
The C.A.S.-managed cabin accommodates 30 people in dormitory beds. Meals are available on request—book dinners and breakfasts when you reserve your bed. The hut has running water, basic washing facilities, and heating. It operates year-round, though winter visits require advance notice. Bring your own sleeping bag or rent one on arrival.
Book directly by phone or email at least two weeks ahead, especially for weekends and July–August. The hut fills quickly during summer and autumn hiking season. Off-season bookings (November–April) may need confirmation 48 hours prior.
