The climb to the Orny hut is an undertaking that can be made less arduous by using the Breya chairlift. In doing so, one saves 700m of climb from Champex-Lac (thus 3 hours).
From La Breya, the path makes its way through the slopes, that are sometimes steep, overlooking the Combe d’Orny.
When one reaches the trail coming up from Issert, one gets a little respite, since one reaches a small, fairly flat basin.
Further on, one climbs towards the lateral moraine of the Orny Glacier and one soon sees the goal: the Orny hut.
Once there and there if is a little bit of the afternoon left, it is worth reaching the Col d’Arpette. This pass, difficult to cross from the other side, allows one to have a view of the Vallon d’Arpette, the Ecandies and the Clochers d’Arpette.
