About
Cabane de la Tsa sits at 2,607m in the Val d'Anniviers, a side valley off the Rhône Valley in Valais. The hut is reached in 2.5 hours from Grimentz (1,572m) via a well-marked trail that climbs steadily through alpine pastures. Most hikers approach via public transport to Vissoie, then a local bus to Grimentz. The walk is moderate but steady—pack water for the ascent.
The hut accommodates 32 people in shared dorm rooms. SAC/CAS members receive discounts on accommodation. Meals are served daily, including dinner and breakfast; the kitchen does not offer self-catering facilities, so plan accordingly. Drinking water is available. The hut operates year-round, though staffing and meal service vary seasonally—confirm availability before visiting in winter or shoulder months.
Book directly by email or phone. July and August fill quickly; book 4–6 weeks ahead for these months. June and September are quieter. The hut sits on hiking networks connecting to other Valais huts and peaks in the Anniviers region, making it a useful overnight stop for multi-day traverses.
