Mont Fort Cabane 100th Anniversary
A century of history atop the Valais Alps
You may recall our article about the Mont Fort Cabane in our Winter 2023-2024 edition. Renovated and under new guardianship, the legendary cabin is celebrating its centenary in 2025. Perched on the Alpine knoll of La Chaux, at 2,457 m, it has a spectacular panoramic view of the Combins Massif. The last commemoration of this pivotal anniversary will take place on the afternoon of December 13th, with a traditional mass led by the canons of the Great St. Bernard Hospice, accompanied by 100 mountain guides in uniform. To close, a torchlit descent will illuminate the mountain with 100 candles.
