Cabane Trient is not far from the border between Switzerland and France. The Hut is a stop on the famous Haute Route Chamonix - Zermatt. It is easiest to reach the hut from the Grands Montets and Lognan cable car stations via the Col Chardonnet and Fenétre de Saleinaz saddles. Another variant of the approach leads from Le Tour. The Haute Route to Lac Champex leads through the Val d´Arpette or through the Glacier d´Orny.

The Haute Route Grande Lui variant from Chamonix to Zermatt, also known as the "Haute Route Pure", leads from La Fouly to the Grand Saint Bernard Pass. Overnight accommodation is provided in the hospice of the same name, under conditions similar to those in a mountain hut. The traverse of the slope below the Ferret lakes is particularly prone to avalanches.

The last stage of the Haute Route Chamonix - Zermatt is an ode to skiing. After an easy ascent to three saddles - Col de Eveque, Col du Mont Brulé and Col Valpelline. Every ski mountaineer will be amazed by the panorama of the impressive 4000m peaks - Dent Blanche, Matterhorn and Dent d´Hérens. This is followed by a 10 km descent to Zermatt.

Breithorn can be rated as the lightest 4000 in the Alps. In any case, thanks to the support of the Klein Matterhorn cable car, which transports ski mountaineers up to 3880 m. From the cable car station (beautiful viewpoint) to the glacier plain below the summit, which can be often reached on skis. In good conditions, it is worthwhile to continue to the Schwarztor saddle and drive descent back to Zermatt. The second variant of the freeride is the descent from the Unterer Theodulgletscher. This descent is simply great up to Seehöre 2400.

Hiking on top of fantastic lookout tower. Glacier skitour. At the end, you will reach the summit from the north, to the top of the climbing terrain. Next continue to the Diechterlimi saddle and from there a fantastic downhill run to Gelmerhütte and then to the Gelmersee dam. If the lake is not frozen, the route along the northern bank can be very challenging, depending on the snow conditions. After crossing the dam, is coming downhill, often very complicated, traversing western slope to the Grimselpass road. After that, a bit on the parking lot under the Räterichsboden dam and at first a steep traverse to Bächlihütte - a hut on the top.
