Is it necessary to be accompanied by a guide?
Be careful, you are in high mountain, in winter and on a glacier, there can be some crevasses! Make sure you have the necessary knowledge to evolve on a high-mountain glacier or to be accompanied with a mountain guide.
If you want to come by walking, snowshoes or ski skins, here are the safety rules to observe concerning pedestrians on the slopes:
These are tolerated on condition to give always the priority to skiers, that they remain at the edge of the piste, that they never cross it and that they do not leave the markings (risk of crevasses on the glacier). This is your own responsibility, you need a adapted equipment, sufficient knowledge of the high mountains or accompanied by a guide.
In all cases, inform yourself of the weather forecast for the day of your arrival. See the official “Meteo Suisse” weather reports. As well as avalanche bulletins written by SLF.
In any case, when you leave the Mont-Fort’s slope to join the hut, you are on an off-piste domain! Equip yourself with an avalanche victim detector (DVA), a shovel and a probe.
You can also call us the day before or in the morning of your arrival to find out the current weather and snow conditions at the hut.
Do you accept credit card ?
Yes we do but be aware that there is a 2.5% fee per transaction.
Can I offer a meal or a stay at the Cabane de Tortin as a present to someone?
Yes no worries, we make personal good gifts according to your budget and your desires.
