Chalet des Nants

Chalet des Nants is a backcountry shelter in the French Alps near Pralognan-la-Vanoise, used as a trail-junction landmark when moving through the Vallon des Nants area toward Refuge de la Valette. There isn’t a staffed, bookable refuge at the old Chalet des Nants site itself; it’s best treated as an unstaffed overnight-pivot point on routes linking to Refuge de la Valette and the wider Vanoise hiking network.

On route planning, Chalet des Nants sits along the approach that crosses the Parc national de la Vanoise corridor; route options commonly continue onward to Refuge de la Valette for an organized overnight stay. The nearby Refuge de la Valette is the key booked stop for multiday treks in this sector.
