The place
Very small unstaffed cabin at 1200 m in the Hautes-Vosges, also called "Kapitaen'hisel" (Captain's cabin). Built since 2006. Access is tricky in winter or for the uninitiated (not directly on the trail). Inside: table with sturdy wooden benches, fireplace-barbecue, tools. A good waypoint shelter between the Grand Ballon and the Markstein.
Getting there
On the Grand Ballon - Markstein traverse. Access off-trail is tricky.
The setting
Hautes-Vosges, between Grand Ballon (1424 m) and Markstein.
