Refuge Giacomini

From 23 May To 18 Oct 2026

The Refuge Giacomini, on the valley of Anzeinde, is situated in 1900m to the South of the Massif of Diablerets between Gryon and Derborence.

In a charming and comfortable alpine setting, this refuge-hotel offers:

- 5 double rooms, 2 with washbasin and 3 without, WC and showers on the same floor (included in the price)
- 3 triple rooms, 2 with washbasin and one without, WC and showers upstairs (included in the price)
- 1 quadruple room with washbasin in the room, WC and showers on same the floor (included in the price)
- 4 dormitories (6/8/9/10 beds), WC and washbasins on same the floor, showers available
- Bedding provided (pillows and Nordic duvets)
- 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.
