Supplementing the services provided by these refuges are many small, basic shepherd's huts dotted all over the mountains. Don't expect much from these though apart from a roof and walls.

Discounts on the refuge rates are available for card-carrying international mountaineering club members. Book bunks and meals in advance.

Some huts are easily accessible by well-marked paths, some routes require mountaineering skills.

We've separated the huts into their respective massifs (see below) and have added location maps. The google maps are meant as a rough guide only as they're not 100% accurate. Use the + tool to zoom in on them first then click and drag the maps.
