Mont Rogneux loop via Cabane Brunet Map

Tom from Mountain Air has recommended this tour for those of you who want to try out an overnight tour with a stay at Cabane Brunet. The route starts up through the forest and offers spectacular views down the Val de Bagnes. You can see the hut right up on the ridge when you start to get close. It is a great beginner tour and is easy to navigate technically. What you will need: The hut is catered and food is provided by a famous local chef. You only need a sheet sleeping bag which normally can be purchased at the hut (worth checking beforehand).
