Access

Coordinates: 569402.97 / 94304.58 Located just north of the Col d'Orny, below the Pointe d'Orny, on a balcony above the Trient Glacier, facing the Aiguille du Tour and the Aiguilles Dorées. All hiking routes to reach the hut come from the Val Ferret to the east, passing obligatorily via the [->2442]. From the [->2442] to the Trient hut, the trail runs over sheepback rocks and the moraine on the left bank of the Orny Glacier. The Trient hut is located just after the ice-covered Col d'Orny, which is crossed on rock. There is therefore no glacier crossing to reach the Trient hut. Allow 1h15 from the [->2442]. Currently, this trail is marked in red (mountain route) on map.geo.admin and Suisse Mobile maps (white-red-white markings on the ground). A discussion is underway to mark it in blue (alpine route) as the high-mountain glacial environment is very pronounced. It is therefore necessary to have the appropriate experience and equipment when taking these routes, particularly at the start and end of the season (snow). It is also possible to reach the hut via mountaineering and glacier hiking routes from Switzerland or France, obligatorily passing through various glaciers, including a final crossing of the Trient Glacier. From the [->316] via the Col du Chardonnet and the Fenêtre de Saleinaz: 5h, PD difficulty, glacier equipment mandatory. From Trient via the Glacier chalet, the [->7142] and the Fenêtre du Chamois: 5h30, PD difficulty, glacier equipment mandatory. In winter, follow the Haute Route itinerary.
