Cabin du Mountet CAS

Cabane du Mountet sits at 2,886m in the Monte Rosa massif on the Swiss-Italian border, a high alpine base for mountaineers and hikers. Approach from Täsch (Switzerland) via the Hörnli path—allow 4 to 5 hours for the 1,100m ascent. The route is well-marked and straightforward hiking with no technical difficulty. In winter and early spring the hut may require ski or snowshoe approach. The cabin is managed by the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC/CAS) and serves as a starting point for Mont Rosa ascents and traverses across the high glaciers.
The hut holds 80 beds in shared dorms. Meals are served daily—expect simple, substantial mountain food. A self-catering kitchen is available if you prefer to cook your own meals. Water is available from the melt streams. The hut operates year-round but conditions above 2,800m are serious in winter; most visitors come May through September. Expect cold nights and exposed weather even in summer—bring a sleeping bag rated to –5°C minimum.
Book directly with the hut by email or phone. July and August fill 4 to 6 weeks ahead. June and September have more availability. Notify the hut at least a day in advance if you plan to arrive late or will need a packed dinner. The SAC website has full contact details and current conditions.
