Cabane de Chanrion CAS — Local services in Val de Bagnes

Sometimes you find a place you will never forget and you look back on, and as you look back the memory gets better and better. This cabane is a real treasure. The staff were so lovely and welcoming. The location is absolutely stunning. The food was great. You need to look at the prices before you come - it is more expensive than some others but very much worth it. The photo is taken inside the dining area - one of the most stunning places you can eat anywhere. I stayed in mid September this year. Thank you so much to the staff for making us so welcome. There are rooms of 4 not crammed together so the sleeping arrangement is much nicer than places with crammed together dorms.

Everything is made on site, staff is overly attentive, and even bread is fresh every morning.

I am not surprised that this place is sold out well beyond the holiday season. I rate this the best cabane...

Welcoming hosts and a warm and modern hut. Good food and very accommodating of food allergies. I really appreciated that! The hut was quiet the night we stayed and the hosts spread everyone out rather than cramming everyone into the minimum number of rooms as some huts do when not full, which made for a nice peaceful night for us.

Of course, it is not cheap but it is within the normal price range for a SAC hut with this type of facilities (we had discount for SAC members).

Hike in was beautiful and we hardly saw any other hikers despite great weather. We would visit again, maybe next time by...
