Mountain hut
Cabane de la Tourche
About this hut: A privately owned CAS St-Maurice hut below the Dents de Morcles, above the Rhône valley, rebuilt in 2011. Views from the hut span the Swiss and French Alps. Summer staffed stays and the reservation-only winter room have different arrangements; standard CAS hut conditions do not automatically apply.
Notice: Published 2026 staffed season ended 11 October. The separate unstaffed winter room requires a reservation; this does not establish current path, parking-road or bed availability. No 2027 staffed dates supplied. Source read 2026-10-25.
