Chalet de Mont-Soleil
2.7About
Chalet de Mont-Soleil sits at 1,244m on the Mont-Soleil plateau in the Jura Mountains, above the Val-de-Ruz in canton Neuchâtel. Reach it from Le Locle (45 minutes by foot) or from Saules (30 minutes). The hut works well as a base for ridgeline walks along the Jura crest and for descents into the Val-de-Travers. Summer walking is the main draw—the plateau offers gentle terrain and views across to the Alps on clear days.
The hut has 20 beds split across dorm rooms. It serves dinner and breakfast; lunch packs are available. The building has a small bar and common area with a wood stove. Water is on-site. The hut is open year-round but receives fewer visitors in winter, when the plateau turns quiet. Phone ahead in off-season to confirm availability.
Book direct by phone or email. July and August fill quickly; aim to reserve 4–6 weeks ahead for summer weekends. The hut attracts walkers exploring the Jura trail network, particularly those doing multi-day traverses, so shoulder seasons (May–June and September–October) offer better availability with stable weather.
