Cabane de Saleinaz CAS

Cabane de Saleinaz CAS 2691 m

A spacious alpine cabin on the verge of the Swiss part of the Montblanc range. Located in a side valley of Val Ferret, it offers an awesome view of the glaciers and the crystalline universe of Aiguille d’Argentière and the well-known high alpine cols such as Fenêtre de Saleina leading to Plateau du Trient. The challenging summer access trail from Val Ferret has been secured by fixed ropes and steps; in winter the cabin is accessed by crossing the cols.
