Another sunny day, another walk…  I’m sensing a trend… 🙂

The Swiss Alpine Club and other organisations have a habit of putting their mountain huts (cabanes) in stunning places.  This is particularly true of the Aiguilles Rouges hut, which sits at 2,810 metres (9,220 ft).  It’s a very stiff climb from La Gouille to the hut, so I always recommend taking the path from Arolla.  It’s a little longer, but not as steep, and it also gives fabulous views back to Mont Collon and the Pigne d’Arolla.
