Route description
Zinal - Cabane Arpitettaz
Follow the east bank of the Navisence stream from the village of Zinal (approx. 1670 m) into the valley. At P. 1730 cross the bridge to the west bank, and follow the line of the summer path up to Le Vichiesso (1855m). Continue to, and cross, the next bridge over the Navisence before climbing eastwards along the south bank of the Torrent de l'Arpitteta (stream). From ca. 2120 m, follow the north-most branch of this stream up and left of a steep moraine. Ascend between the moraine and the mountain, always eastwards (from P. 2492 bear slightly rightwards (SE) and into a second depression; from 2600m choose the smaller left-hand moraine depression). Finally, from 2700m in the (correct) moraine depression, a bearing of 0° north will lead you directly to the hut.
