Hello

Unfortunately the Vignettes Hut is full for the dates I plan to do the Arolla Circuit.

Is it practical to go direct from the Chanrion hut to the Bertol hut, missing out the Vignettes hut?

How long would it take, assuming reasonable conditions?  It seems like a fairly routine slog up the Gl. de Otemma to Col d’Eveque, Col Collon, and thence into the Haut Gl. d’Arolla.  Has anyone done this in one push?

What are the best alternatives?

Is the Bouquetins hut bookable?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Paul

Had you considered going to the Dix Hut and then to the Bertol via Arolla?

We set off from Arolla to go to the Aigs rouges, then to the Dix before arriving at the Chanrion.  Thanks for suggesting, but we don’t want to go back on ourselves.
