After 35 minutes walking, you can decide whether to continue on the track (1 hour more to the Petit Mountet hut) or the path that leads off through the woods to the right (45 minutes). This wasn't a difficult choice for me, I chose the path through the woods without the slightest hesitation! The track might prove easier for the return route, especially if you decide to stop off at the hut for an evening meal. Whatever you choose, you should reach the hut without much effort [2142 m, 1h30]. All the same, the walk up to the hut is a 500-meter climb, i.e. a little more than half of the day's total climb. Sitting on its mound of moraine debris, looking out over the Besso and the Val d'Arpittetaz, a short rest at the Petit Mountet hut is generally welcome before starting some more serious walking.
