About
Cabin de Loz sits at 1,850m in the Vaud Alps, accessible from the village of Leysin. The approach takes 2.5 to 3 hours on foot, climbing through mixed forest and alpine meadow. Routes also connect to larger huts in the region, making this a useful waypoint on multi-day traverses across the northern Vaud Alps.
The cabin sleeps 12 across simple dormitory accommodation. The guardian provides hot meals in the evening and breakfast. There is no shower facility—bring a washcloth and accept cold water. The hut operates year-round, though snow and avalanche conditions dictate winter access. Heating is available, and the small common room serves as the focal point for the evening meal and socializing.
This hut works best as part of a longer route rather than a day-trip destination. Book directly with the managing guardian at least two weeks ahead for weekends between June and September. Winter visits require advance notice and confirmation of access conditions. The hut is lightly staffed, so communication by phone or email is essential before arriving.
