View towards the peaks and the cabin. The hike to this location is one way, there are no loops. If you decide to go there, allow at least 3 hours …

Follow the path towards Cabane du Tracuit but head east towards Torrent du Barmé. Superb meadow to stop, have a snack and cool off in the stream.

August 9, 2024,Bishorn 🇨🇭 4153 meter Abbruch😪😪

Everything was ready, the weather was great, the flow was there, and the condition was perfect.
Unfortunately, my brother's new hiking boots left his feet bleeding and bare, and we had to cancel the tour. Since the tour leads onto a glacier, I couldn't continue on my own.
I'm totally devastated now 😪

This weekend we were once again planning a mountain tour in the Valais, which would take us to the upper Val d’Anniviers. From Zinal we - Viki, Marcin and I - started the long ascent to the Cabane de Tracuit hut at 3,256m. The perfect weather made our ascent a dream.
