About
Cabane des Ordons sits at 917m in the Jura mountains near Saignelégier, in the canton of Jura. The hut is reached from the village of Les Genevez in roughly 1.5 hours on foot, following marked trails through mixed forest. The approach is straightforward and accessible to hikers of all abilities. Alternative access is possible from Saignelégier, adding about 30 minutes to the walk.
The SAC-affiliated hut offers basic mountain accommodation with around 40 beds spread across dormitory and small private rooms. Meals focus on simple regional fare, with a hearty dinner and breakfast included in most stays. The hut has running water and pit toilets. Opening hours vary seasonally but the hut operates year-round, with reduced services during winter months. The location makes it a solid base for day hikes across the northern Jura plateau and approaches to nearby peaks.
Book direct with CAS Jura section. Summer weekends and holiday periods fill quickly; aim to reserve at least 2 weeks ahead for July and August. Email contact is preferable for booking confirmation. Note that the hut operates with volunteer staff, so response times may be slower during off-peak seasons.
