Swiss coordinates: 589765 / 99495 The most common route: From Fionnay (Val de Bagnes), roughly at the NE corner of the upper lake (about 1500 m), a trail departs NW, crosses the Sovereu stream and continues in switchbacks via La Heu, the 1696 m point, crosses the Couloir des Montis and goes around by the left a shoulder, until it starts climbing NE in the combe of the Dyure de Louvie (stream). Upon reaching the Plan, do not take the right path but continue along the stream to the small lock where the hut occupies a mound, not far from the Lac de Louvie. Allow 2 hours without stops. An alternative is to arrive from above, either via the Col de Louvie coming from the refuge of St Laurent (follow the left bank of the Grand Désert glacier), or via the Col de Momin from the cabane de Prafleuri and the glaciers of the Rosablanche and Grand Désert (crevasses!!); this will take about 6 hours.
