It is possible to come to the bertol hut by making a break at the Tsa hut with a departure from Arolla or at Dent blanche hut (Rossier hut) with a departure from Ferpècle above Haudères.
Spring:
Same routes but since Arolla walk up to the foot of Mont Collon by the right bank of the Lower Arolla Glacier and then take to way of the High Arolla Glacier.
