From Le Vingt-Huit, at the end of the dam, you can plunge into the heart of the wilderness. A challenging climb of around an hour then awaits you to reach the Cabane de Chanrion, perched at 2,462 metres. Here you can relax on the terrace while admiring the Alpine panorama.
The return journey takes the same route, once again taking in the breathtaking scenery.
Please take the time to assess your physical condition and abilities. Use of the various routes is always at your own risk.
Before you leave, check with the Cabane de Chanrion to find out about the condition of the path and whether the hut is open.
