Tracuit Mountain Hut

The tracuit mountain hut (altitude 3256 metres) belongs to the chaussy section of the swiss alpine club and is situated in the val d’anniviers, in the heart of the valaisan alps. Its superb position makes it the ideal starting-point for climbing the bishorn, the weisshorn, and the tête de milon.
