The Arpitettaz hut (2,786 m) is located at the foot of the Weisshorn, on the west side, in front of the Blanc de Moming and its impressive glacier. It is easily accessible from Zinal.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- In 2025, the hut will be guarded from March 15 until May 3 and from June 22 until September 26 then at week-ends until the end of October, weather permitting.
- Even if the hut is not guarded, you must reserve to spend the night (see the link at the bottom of the page to make a reservation) – without reservation, you cannot spend the night in the hut.
- When the hut is not guarded, only 14 people can spend the night in the hut.
- Only come if you are in good health!
- A thin sleeping bag is mandatory.
- Please take your rubbish back with you!
- A bridge under the hut was washed away in August 2023. To reach the hut on foot, a new path has been laid out from an altitude of 2,540 m to the bridge at 2,740 m on the path linking the Col de Milon to the Arpitettaz hut (red and white path, T2).
- The path leading to the Arpitettaz hut via Lac d’Arpitettaz crosses areas grazed by sheep protected by sheep protection dogs. Signs indicate the presence of dogs, so be sure to read them carefully. Companion dogs provoke stronger reactions from sheep protection dogs. Keep your dog on a lead and under control. Do not try to cross a protected herd with your dog, go around it. If in doubt, turn back. (https://www.protectiondestroupeaux.ch/fr/chiens-de-protection-des-troupeaux/#c218)
We are counting on your understanding and sense of responsibility!
