The Tracuit mountain hut, at the altitude of 3256 m in the hearth of Valaisan Alps, was built in a new position near the original hut of 1929. The building is fit in the site's topography , in a superb position between a cliff and a glacier. The structural frame is made by wood. The south façade is glazed or covered with solar panels, making maximum use of solar radiation. The other facades have a stainless steel cladding reflecting the surrounding landscape. The compact shape of the building and the efficient wall insulation reduce heat losses.
