Cabane Chanrion offers a variety of ski tours and is also an important stop on the famous Haute Route Chamonix - Zermatt. You can reach it from Valsorey via the Plateau Couloir. The continuation to the Cabane Vignettes either leads over the Otemna glacier or over a more interesting route through the Les Portons. The most difficult peak in the region is La Ruinette. The FXB Panossiere can be reached via Tournelon Blanc. The Chalet Dix and the Arolla Valley can be reached via Cabane Dix with a fork to Mont Blanc Cheilon. The access from the Mauvoisin Dam is at risk from avalanches and is not recommended. Contact the hut for detailed information.
