La Lavey mountain hut
Renovation work continues as planned this summer. Reopening scheduled for summer 2027.
Located at an altitude of 1,797 m, it's a 2-minute walk from the hamlet of Champhorent on an easy family trail up the Muande torrent.
The refuge closed its doors on July 15, 2025 for two years. The time needed for a complete refurbishment that will enable us to welcome you even better.
This is a place where mountaineers, hikers and mountain people can share their emotions.
At the refuge you'll find everything you need for this special adventure, and the wardens are there to advise, inform and guide you in your choice of itinerary.
At the foot of accessible glaciers and lakes (la Muande, les Rouies, les Sellettes, les Bêches, les Fétoules...), fauna, flora and herds are waiting for you, and everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, from the contemplative to the adventurous, from the climber to the walker, will find what they're looking for.
You'll be able to sample organic and local produce, all in a creative and colorful cuisine.
Every summer, a program of events is organized to offer concerts, shows and evening events for all to enjoy. Don't hesitate to follow our news online!
