- From Plan Montmin, follow the forest track leading to La Rapille then to the chalets of Mont. At the entrance to the clearing of the chalets of Mont, take the trail to l'Arpettaz which climbs through the forest. From l'Arpettaz, follow the trail to Crêt des Mouches which goes around Pointe de Chauriande. - From Plan Montmin, you can also pass by "les Varoppes" on a well-marked and quite steep path that reaches l'Arpettaz from the west side. - Access is also possible via La Côte and Saint-Ferréol.
This is a shepherd's shelter. Open all year round but check before coming in summer as if the shepherd is there, I don't think there will be room for anyone else... Basic and simple comfort. There is a spring in the combe heading North-North-East towards Rochers d'Arclosan, remaining at roughly the same altitude as the shelter, it is in a crevice, NOT EASY TO FIND and probably intermittent...Don't count on it too much. Sleeping arrangements on 3 stacked wooden platforms with straw as mattresses: enough to sleep for 5 people maximum (head-to-toe). The stove is quite worn out: there is no wood nearby, you have to descend 200m of elevation to find some (or bring some with you). A few tools: wood knife, sledgehammer, pickaxe, various rusty tools. A few kitchen utensils / pots / cutlery that are outdated more for decoration than for actual use. However, two pots and two pans are in good condition. Small wooden ladder (under the attic) possibly facilitating access to the top bunks. As of the latest news (June 25, 2010): the alpine pasture is no longer used and the cabin does not seem to be occupied in summer anymore for several years.
