Eugène Rambert, a passionate mountaineer and naturalist from Vaud, was a founding member of the Swiss Alpine Club in 1863. He is famous for his five-volume series "Les Alpes suisses". The first hut was built in 1895 and was transported by train from Lausanne to Riddes, and from there to the Frête de Saille by mules, carts and men. In 1952, it was rebuilt at a safer and larger location (44 beds): La Crête à Moret. In 2015 it was refurbished and enlarged.
