A pretty cabin located at an altitude of over 2700m at the foot of the Weisshorn. The cabin is right in front of the glacier, so you can observe it up close. Updates: A storm swept away a footbridge under the Arpitettaz refuge (summer trail). A detour has been set up. The journey time has been slightly extended.
In 2024, the cabin will be guarded from March 16 to May 2 and from June 23 to September 20.

Beautiful hut and very lovely and helpful hosts, delicious basic dishes served outdoors. Outside, the fantastic view of the glacier world of the Weisshorn group. The long ascent (from Zinal via the lac de l’Arpetitaz: swimming in ice-cold water is great!) is worth it!
