About
Cabane du Scex Carro sits at 2,000m in the Valais, on the approach to Mont-Fort and the surrounding peaks. The hut is accessible from Nendaz via a hiking trail that takes roughly 3 hours. This is a straightforward summer route with reliable paths. The location makes it a solid base for day hikes into the surrounding terrain or as a waypoint on longer treks across the region.
The hut has 18 beds split across multiple rooms. Meals are available, including dinner and breakfast—order ahead if you want packed lunches for the next day. The facilities are basic but functional: heated dormitories, toilets, and washbasins. Water comes from a reliable source. The cabin operates year-round, though conditions in winter require mountain sense and appropriate gear. Check opening status before visiting outside summer season.
Book directly by email or phone. For July and August, contact the hut 6 months in advance. Weekends fill quickly even in shoulder season. Weekday slots are easier to secure. The hut prefers direct contact rather than third-party booking platforms, so call or email first to check availability and confirm any specific requirements you have.
