I'd originally planned to hike to the Lac d'Arpitettaz and depending on whether I had good legs to then continue to the Cabane d'Arpitettaz. It was a perfect day and I felt good so I hiked all the way to the hut. The Cabane d'Arpitettaz is situated at the foot of the Weisshorn and in front of the Blanc de Morning and its glacier at an elevation of 2,786 metres. Since Zinal is at 1,675 metres this means climbing (and descending) more than 1,100 metres. Unfortunately the next day the weather changed so the Cabane du Grand Mountet will have to wait until another time. Update: I made it to the Cabane du Grand Mountet!
