Refuge du Semnoz

Refuge du Semnoz is a alpine hut in France at about 1550 m. It is also known locally as Chalets de Gruffy. It is best planned as a self-sufficient stopover rather than a staffed lodging service.

Known practical details include sleeping or shelter capacity around 10, basic sleeping platforms or bedding surfaces. Bring a sleeping bag, food, lighting, a first-aid kit, water or a treatment method, toilet paper, and pack-out bags; add stove/fuel and cold-weather or avalanche equipment when the season and terrain require it.

Use the surrounding area for hiking, mountain travel, ski touring, or other backcountry travel appropriate to the local trail network and conditions. A fee may apply, so confirm the current rate before going.
