Hut-keeper’s phone: 04 50 47 21 89 Sleeps 50

Access: Montenvers train station - path and ladders down to glacier - like for Envers des Aiguilles except continue up the "Mer de Glace" and then the Tacul glacier (Beware of hidden crevasses and snow bridges especially in early season) Follow green markers to ladders, path on right (3-4 hours). Ice axe and crampons necessary.

In winter : Aiguille du Midi cable car and ski down "Vallée Blanche".

Situated in the world’s most beautiful valley, halfway between the Aiguille du Midi and the Montenvers, the Requin hut offers an impressive view and splendid sunrises. It is managed in partnership by the CAF and the ADSM (Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix).

A motivated team of hut-keepers will receive you from mid-June through mid-September (weather permitting).

Count on approximately 3 hours of walking from the Montenvers station and follow the blue markers on the glacier.

Many excellent rock and alpine climbs are in the proximity.

In winter, the Requin is open as early as snow conditions permit. It is a wonderful stopping point for Vallée Blanche skiers in search of a hot drink or a hearty lunch to resore their spirits and take in the breath-taking view before continuing down the Mer de Glace towards Chamonix.
