CAS Chalet du Mont-d'Amin
2.7About
Chalet du Mont-d'Amin sits at 1,383m in the Jura Mountains, above La Chaux-de-Fonds in the Neuchâtel canton. Reach it on foot from La Chaux-de-Fonds in 2 hours via marked trails through mixed forest and open meadows. The hut also connects to the wider Jura hiking network, making it a logical stop for multi-day traverses. Winter access is possible but check conditions with CAS La Chaux-de-Fonds before visiting.
The chalet sleeps around 50 people in dormitory rooms. The SAC manages a kitchen and dining area where you can prepare your own food or order simple meals. Expect basic Alpine hut conditions: no WiFi, no showers, but functioning toilets and water. The hut opens year-round but staffing varies seasonally—contact ahead if visiting outside peak summer and autumn months.
Book direct with CAS La Chaux-de-Fonds. Summer weekends (June to September) fill fast, especially during school holidays in July and August. Aim to book 2–3 weeks ahead for those periods. Weekday stays and shoulder seasons (May, September, October) are easier to arrange with shorter notice. Half or full board meals must be ordered when you book. Pay by bank transfer before arrival or in cash on the day.
