- A ‘meat bag’ (thin sleeping bag/dream bag) is compulsory. For those who don't have one, non-woven bags are on sale at the Refuge.
You'll also be able to sample the local cuisine, with its fine hunting and mountain specialities.
From Solalex to Anzeindaz (1h) First, a rocky path winds through the forest, then continues along a trail between the scree and the mountain pastures. For those wishing to skip the walk, a taxi from the Refuge de Solalex is available, but must be booked in advance.
The Refuge Giacomini, open from June to October, lies along the famous Villars - Barboleusaz - Derborence route. From here, easy walks through the pastures lead to the Pas de Cheville or the Barraud Hut, alongside more challenging hikes for seasoned walkers. It’s also a key stop on the Tour des Muverans and the Tour du Massif des Diablerets.
