Hut profile: Cabane Mont Fort

I recently hiked to and from Cabane Mont Fort near the Swiss town of Verbier. From the cable car station of Les Ruinettes it's a very easy walk, you can even get a 4x4 taxi to the cabin outside of snow season. The cabin will feature in Mountains Magazine Issue #2 (out in December 2025) but today I wanted to show these old photos of the cabin, kindly supplied by Benoît from the cabin. 

The building of Cabane Mont Fort was completed in September 1925. Later this year there will be various events celebrating its 100th anniversary. As you'll see from my recent photo the building has changed a little, but you can still see original features.
