On trails from Fionnay to the Panossière hut
In 1953, Louis Dumoulin, was working as caretaker (guardian) of the Panossière hut. At the time his son was lost in the Mauvoisin region. At that time the only way to give the guardian this news was to walk to the hut. Therefore, guide Louis Wuilloud left Fionnay to travel to the hut with the bad news, which took him 1h45. Nobody wanted to believe that he could achieve such a feat, since the usual walking time to reach the cabin was estimated at four hours.
