About
Cabane des Diablerets sits at 2486m on the ridge between Valais and Vaud, commanding views across the Diablerets massif. Reach it from Col du Pillon (2002m) in 2.5 hours, or from Glacier 3000 in 3 hours. Both approaches are well-marked and involve steady elevation gain on established trails. The hut serves as a base for traverses across the Diablerets range and access to the Glacier 3000 area.
The SAC/CAS-managed hut has 32 beds across multiple rooms. Meals are served daily, including packed lunches for onward travel. Drinking water is available. WiFi is functional, though connectivity can be unreliable at this elevation. The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk. Summer is the main season; winter visits require experience and coordination with the guardian.
Book 6–8 weeks ahead for July and August. Contact the hut directly by phone (+41 24 492 35 92) or email to confirm availability and discuss your plans—especially important if you're arriving by ski in winter or need packed lunches. Busy weekends fill quickly. The hut prefers advance notice for large groups.
