Cabane de Panossière

Hiking

Description

Perched at an altitude of 2,645 metres in the heart of the Val de Bagnes, the FXB Panossière Hut offers a spectacular vantage point over the glacial world of the Grand Combin, one of the iconic peaks of the Valais Alps. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, it overlooks the Corbassière Glacier, providing panoramic views of shimmering seracs, rugged ridgelines, and the steep rock faces of the massif.
A must-visit stop for hikers, mountaineers, and mountain lovers. Thanks to the Corbassière Footbridge, which spans the torrent flowing from the glacier, the site has become one of the region’s most iconic destinations.
Whether as a stage on the Tour des Combins, a base for an alpine ascent, or simply a place to admire the ice giants in an unspoilt setting, the Cabane de Panossière is a true jewel of the Swiss high mountains.
To fully enjoy the beauty of the landscapes, we recommend reaching the Cabane de Panossière via the Cabane de Brunet, crossing the Col des Avouillons and the suspension bridge over the Corbassière Glacier. For the return journey, the descent to Fionnay offers a different yet equally spectacular perspective, transitioning from sweeping glacial panoramas to alpine forests and pastures.
