Sander«Hab genug von den Leuten»: SAC-Hüttenwart schmeisst hin
After visiting the Berghaus Männdlenen I was able to update my mountain huts map of the Alps again.
Sander Meijer@aufdenbergde @FotoVorschlag ah, gute Idee!
Edmund Graf Hütte, Verwallgruppe, in 2001.
Nach dem absoluten Rekordjahr 2022 verzeichneten die SAC-Hütten auch im vergangenen Jahr mehr als 370’000 Übernachtungen. Die Sommersaison geht sogar als beste in die Geschichte ein.

Day 2: The Grande Dent de Morcles (2'969m / 9'740ft) is a mountain in the west part of canton Valais/Wallis, Switzerland. From the hut it is an easy hike, with the last 150 meters a T5 climb.
The view from the summit is superb. Mont Blanc (when not in clouds) and Lac Léman (which is Lake of Geneva, but let nobody hear you call it like that) can be seen. Not everybody felt comfortable descending via the "Grande Vire" to the Cabane de la Tourche, which is a steep descent with a higher chance of rockfall, so we decided to circle back and take the safer but much longer route to the hut.
We arrived just in time for diner. During our hike we met a German woman hiking alone and it appeared to be her birthday. To celebrate we had a nice bottle of local wine together. It was a perfect end of a long but satisfying day.

Day 1: Jorasse to Cabane du Fenestral. With way better weather than expected we hiked via an alternative way to the Cabane de Fenestral. The views into the Rhone Valley made way to some more rugged terrain. The last ascent to the hut was hot as there was no wind. Enjoying a beer and companions at the terrace hoping the Mont Blanc peeks through the clouds.
