Stockhütte

Stockhütte sits at 1264m in the Diemtig valley, south of Thun in the Bernese Oberland. The hut is a straightforward 1.5 hours on foot from Oey village (accessible by PostAuto from Thun). From Stockhütte itself, trails branch to the Honegg ridge (2 hours) and south toward the Gärstelen pass (2.5 hours). The location works well as a base for valley hiking rather than high-altitude mountaineering.
The hut operates year-round and handles around 30 guests. Meals are available on weekends and holidays; book in advance for weekday groups. The hut has a simple dormitory setup with basic facilities—no showers. It's managed locally and maintains the low-key character typical of working valley huts rather than tourist destinations.
Book direct by phone or email. Weekends fill quickly from April through October, so confirm availability before heading up. The hut suits hikers wanting an accessible overnight base without the crowds of higher alpine huts.
