The Valsorey Hut (French: Cabane de Valsorey) is a mountain hut located west of the Grand Combin in the Pennine Alps at 3,030 m, owned by the Swiss Alpine Club. It is the start of the route to the summit of the Grand Combin from the Meitin ridge or from the south face as well as other summits of the massif.
