Cabane de Chanrion

Cabane de Chanrion, also known in English as Chanrion Hut, is a mountain hut in the upper Val de Bagnes in the Swiss canton of Valais. It occupies an isolated alpine setting south of Lac de Mauvoisin, at an elevation of approximately 2,462 metres, near the foot of Pointe d'Otemma. The hut functions as a base and overnight refuge for mountaineers, hikers, and other visitors travelling through the high mountain environment of Valais. Its location places it within a demanding alpine landscape rather than an urban or resort-based hospitality market. Access is most straightforward from the north, using the road leading toward Mauvoisin before continuing on foot through the mountain terrain. The hut is owned by the Swiss Alpine Club, which places it within Switzerland's established network of alpine shelters and mountaineering infrastructure. Public information identifies the site primarily through its geographic role, ownership, and access rather than through a broad consumer brand portfolio. Its core offering is therefore mountain accommodation and refuge, supported by the hut's position near important high-alpine routes and peaks. No reliable source material supplied for this entry establishes a founding year, founder, detailed operating model, accommodation capacity, seasonal schedule, rates, restaurant services, or a separate corporate entity. The Cabane de Chanrion name is best understood as the identity of a specific Swiss Alpine Club hut and destination rather than as an independently diversified hospitality brand.

Cabane de Chanrion is a mountain hut situated in the upper Val de Bagnes, in the canton of Valais in southwestern Switzerland. The hut stands in an isolated alpine area south of Lac de Mauvoisin, at about 2,462 metres above sea level, and is located near the foot of Pointe d'Otemma. Its setting reflects the traditional role of Swiss mountain huts: providing a practical refuge and overnight base for people travelling through terrain that is distant from ordinary road access and permanent settlements. The easiest approach is from the north, beginning near the road to Mauvoisin and continuing into the alpine landscape. The location makes the hut relevant to mountaineering and high-altitude hiking in the Valais rather than to conventional lowland tourism. Cabane de Chanrion is owned by the Swiss Alpine Club, the national alpine organization responsible for a network of mountain huts and related infrastructure across Switzerland. The supplied reference material does not document the hut's construction date, architectural changes, capacity, management history, tariffs, opening calendar, or notable events. It also does not identify a founder or a separate operating company. Accordingly, the documented history is primarily geographic and institutional: the hut is an established Swiss Alpine Club refuge associated with the upper Val de Bagnes and the Pointe d'Otemma area. Its continuing public identity is represented by the French name Cabane de Chanrion, the English rendering Chanrion Hut, and its official website.
