Is this open this weekend? I have found the summer and winter schedules, but from September 25 until December 17, it appears to be closed - which is a bit strange as La Videmanette is listed elsewhere as a popular hiking destination.

Any clarification would be appreciated, thanks!

The time between late October until middle of December is not considered as a great tourist or hiking time. Fewer guests mean that running it will make even more of a deficit than usual so it is a great chance for the yearly check-up for safety and replacements.
