About
Cabane CAS du Mont D'Or sits at 1377m on the Mont d'Or massif in the Jura Mountains, roughly 90 minutes' drive southwest of Geneva. The hut serves as a base for day hikes across the Jura's rolling terrain and connects several regional trails. Access from the nearest parking area takes 1.5 to 2 hours on foot depending on your route; the hut is staffed seasonally, so confirm opening dates before you go.
The hut has 25 beds split across simple dormitory rooms. There's no self-catering kitchen—meals are provided by the warden during the season. Drinking water is available. The SAC manages the hut, so expect standard Alpine Club standards: basic but clean, with heating and communal dining. The hut opens year-round but staffing varies; it's staffed reliably from May through October and sporadically outside those months.
Book direct with the SAC. Contact by phone or email—phone is faster for availability checks, especially during busy periods. Reserve at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. Outside peak season, 1-2 weeks usually suffices. The hut fills quickly on summer Saturdays and during school holidays in July.
