About
Auberge du Truc sits at 1,750m in the Jura mountains, accessible by hiking trails from the valley villages below. The approach takes 2–3 hours depending on your starting point and fitness. This is a working mountain inn rather than a high-altitude refuge, making it useful as a base for day hikes in the Jura limestone country or a stop on longer ridge traverses.
The hut has 28 beds in mixed and private rooms. Meals are available—the kitchen prepares evening dinner and breakfast using local ingredients. Hot showers and basic facilities are standard. The hut operates year-round, though advance notice is sensible in winter. The Jura climate means snow and fog are common in winter and spring, so check conditions before you go.
Book direct by email or phone as soon as you know your dates. Summer weekends fill fast, especially July and August—book 4–6 weeks ahead for those periods. Easter and school holidays also bring crowds. Off-season (October–April) you'll have more flexibility, though fewer other hikers will be around. Phone ahead to confirm the kitchen is staffed if you're visiting in shoulder seasons.
